FLAMBOROUGH The Ontario government will spend almost $500,000 to bring a new potato-processing plant to a rural field north of Millgrove.
The investment, announced Wednesday morning by MPP Ted McMeekin, means 80 jobs will be moving into the area when Toronto-based EarthFresh Foods transplants its current Etobicoke operation.
Building is expected to start in the fall, with the new plant ready to open by spring 2012.
The EarthFresh plant will wash and package potatoes from Ontario and from growers in Prince Edward Island and the northeastern United States.
The plant will mean a total investment of $5.5 million. Provincial support is being provided under the Rural Economic Development program.
