SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois officials say a meat-processing company will begin operations this fall after agreeing to lease a former slaughtering facility in Rantoul.
The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity said Monday that Trim-Rite Food Corp. will create 100 new jobs.
Trim-Rite president James Jendruczek pledged the plant will use state-of-the-art equipment and be "the most modern hog processing facility" in the country.
Meadowbrook Farms previous operated the slaughter facility in Rantoul. Trim-Rite currently employs 220 people at its Carpentersville headquarters.
