The Nacogdoches Pilgrim's Pride facility is planning a nearly multi-million dollar new facility.

The company is participating in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program, which the company is eligible for based on state sales-tax rebates on the construction materials they purchase-based on the jobs they are creating. The project is expected to create 125 jobs.

Documents indicate the company plans to invest $38 million in the facility, including two million dollars on a deboning building and another $36 million on equipment.

The improvements will allow for expansion into a new market of deboning chicken legs and thighs.

In addition, Pilgrim's Pride is pursuing a new rail spur and hard-car un-loaders. The Nacogdoches facility currently employs 1,250.
