Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated Houston, Texas). Family-owned and operated Cooper Farms Incorporated (Fort Recovery, Ohio) is finalizing plans and construction schedules for expansion at its turkey processing plant in Saint Henry, Ohio.

Construction is scheduled to begin within the next two weeks on a 35,000 square foot expansion to the turkey processing plant, which will add more processing equipment and storage areas to the 4-million-turkey-per-year processing plant.

The company selected Bruns Construction (Saint Henry, Ohio) to construct the $3.7 million building and equipment addition. A new lagoon cell and aeration equipment will also be added to the wastewater system to handle the additional effluent volume that will be created once the expansion is completed and operational.

Construction is expected to take about ten months to complete and will add ten new jobs to the company's existing workforce of 525 people in Saint Henry.
