TWIN FALLS – Twin Falls is one of a handful of cities in Idaho and Nevada being considered as a site for a Greek yogurt production plant.
Chobani, a New York-based manufacturer of Greek yogurt, has visited Twin Falls as well as Carson City, Nev., in recent months in its efforts to find a spot for a facility near the West Coast. If it becomes a reality, a Chobani facility would bring a needed boost to the economy of Twin Falls, which has seen little large-scale growth in recent years aside from the C3 call center opening in 2010.
A Western facility would allow Chobani to be more flexible in its distribution of its products, said Nicki Briggs, a spokeswoman for Agro Farma, Chobani’s parent company.
“We have spoken with the folks at Twin Falls,” she said, adding that several locations are under consideration and no decision has been made.
