AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – The city will consider financial incentives for a dairy company that markets Hispanic products, including cheeses, to build an $88 million manufacturing plant in south Amarillo.
Cacique Food would be located near Farmers Avenue and South Georgia Street where the Amarillo Economic Development Corporation is developing a new business park. The park has access to BNSF rails and Loop 335.
The city council has scheduled a hearing for late March.
The site would be 55 acres. The building would be about 180,000 square feet. It would cost about $52 million with equipment costing $36 million.
The AEDC board will have to consider an agreement and then the city council would.
