Planned conversion to egg-products plant Wabash Valley Foods

According to the Dubois County Free Press, Wabash Valley Foods, LLC, established by the Seger family, will convert a disused building to an egg processing plant.  Expansion and installations will involve an investment of more than $60 million. 

The plant will be dedicated to supplying products to Tyson Foods including egg patties, scrambled eggs and other products that will be marketed under the Jimmy Dean brand for the expanding breakfast market.   Wabash Valley Foods, LLC has committed capital to the project based on a long-term contract with Tyson Foods.  When completed, the plant will exceed 86,000 square feet, will create 30 additional permanent positions and will commence production in October 2024.

Dubois County will grant a five-year property tax abatement covering $24 million on a declining scale from 100 percent progressively to 10 percent over a decade.
