The project will redevelop a 60,000-square-foot facility located along Highway 73 at the south entrance to Falls City, transforming the site into a modern processing facility for dry protein feed ingredients. The total cost of the project is to be determined.
Extensive interior and exterior upgrades are planned to the building. Improvements include roof modifications to accommodate automation equipment, interior office and production floor renovations, exterior beautification, utility infrastructure improvements, and a significant investment in a highly visible industrial corridor that will along with the city's long-term goals to support the agricultural market.
Once completed the facility is expected to create 8 – 10 new full-time jobs, with approximately half of the positions on salary. Operations at the facility are projected to generate approximately 20 trucks per day, supporting regional agricultural and manufacturing supply chains while reinforcing Falls City's role as a logistics and processing hub.
In order to support redevelopment of the site, Fairview Pet Foods has submitted an application for Tax Increment Financing to assist with eligible redevelopment costs, including demolition, building rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, and exterior enhancements. The improvements are considered essential to making the project economically feasible and enabling redevelopment of the property.
Construction is expected to begin once approvals are finalized, with project completion targeted for August, 2026.
