CARGILL of Owosso was named the Shiawassee Economic Development Partnership (SEDP) Project of the Year during the SEDP annual meeting that was hosted at the Michigan Laborers’ Training & Apprenticeship Institute in Perry on Thursday, June 22. Construction of the 75,000 square-foot animal feed production plant is on schedule to be completed by December of this year, at a cost of approximately $19 million. The facility will provide eight jobs, initially, with plans to expand the operation to 40 employees in its second year.
