Pinnacle Foods, which operates a Birds Eye vegetable processing and packaging plant in the Town of Darien in Walworth County, is planning a $39.4 million expansion of the plant, including new production lines and distribution areas. The project is expected to create 127 jobs.
The Town of Darien has received a $1.3 million loan from the Community Development Block Grant – Economic Development Program, which the state Department of Commerce oversees.
"I’m pleased to announce a partnership with the Town of Darien to help facilitate the expansion of Pinnacle Foods Group LLC," Governor Scott Walker said. "My top priority is to continue to invest in our communities and companies and create good-paying jobs for Wisconsin families."
