A factory expansion in Jefferson County will bring a hundred new jobs.
Governor Tony Evers says the Nestle Purina PetCare Company will be expanding its Jefferson plant — a 195-million-dollar investment. Once finished, the company says the factory’s production of wet food will increase. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is giving almost two-million dollars in tax credits over the next five years. Nestle has had a Purina factory in Jefferson since 1910.
