River Ridge Land and Cattle Co. LLC announced Wednesday they will build a new meat processing facility in Grayson County.
The $2.1 million investment is expected to create 11 jobs over the next three years. In addition, River Ridge has agreed to purchase almost $4 million in Virginia-grown beef and pork to use at the facility.
“River Ridge’s new investment in Grayson County is a game-changer for our Virginia beef and pork producers, addressing the scarcity in the market for local meats and processing facilities,” Secretary of Agriculture & Forestry Basil I. Gooden said in a statement. “This operation will provide a major new custom processing option for producers in the region and create an asset for the industry for decades to come.”
