Perdue Foods will invest $10.9 million to expand operations in its Richmond County, North Carolina facility. The company will hire an additional 30 workers over three years. The added production positions will generate about $886,000 in annual payroll impact for the local economy. Perdue currently employs 3,400 in North Carolina.
“The plant in Rockingham has been a part of Richmond County’s manufacturing base for more than 30 years. It is very good news that Perdue is re-investing in its operations and creating new jobs. We are truly grateful to have Perdue Farms in Richmond country,” said Richmond Country Board of Commissioners Chairman Kenneth Robinette.
