Daisy Brand, a well-known sour cream and cottage cheese manufacture based out of Dallas, Texas, has announced its plans to build a new processing facility in Boone, Iowa.
The Boone City Council unanimously approved the request on Monday for the company to seek to seek state funding as part of a $708-million investment that will bring 255 jobs to the community.
“This project will be immensely beneficial to not only the city of Boone, but also Boone County and the entire central Iowa region,” Mayor Elijah Stines said in a city press release. “I am incredibly excited for the positive economic impact this project will bring and the continued success of Daisy Brands and their impeccable line of dairy products.”
According to a statement released by the city of Boone, the town will also make several infrastructure upgrades to support the project, including making improvements to wastewater facilities, upgrading the lift station, creating an additional water reservoir and more.
Currently, Daisy Brand has plants in Garland, Texas; Casa Grande, Arizona; and Wooster, Ohio.
