Over US$1.18 million in state-financed loans or grants have been handed
over to six poultry-related operations in Pennsylvania.
Funding for the poultry operations forms part of the Commonwealth's
investment in diverse industries to strengthen the state's economy, part of more
than $13 million approved for investment in state industries.

future of Pennsylvania. We're working to create new opportunities for
Pennsylvania's hardworking men and women in a wide array of fields."
The poultry operations to receive the funds
include:

shell and hard-cooked egg processor, to build a 10,000-square-foot addition to
the company's main building and construct a new barn.

finishing houses, allowing the dairy farm to diversity its operations.

his poultry farm.
