RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Hillshire Brands plans to create 98 Jobs in Edgecombe County as part of a $28.4 million expansion of its bakery operations.

The investment will be over three years in Tarboro.

Hillshire Brands is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, Inc. The Tarboro plant produces the company’s Sara Lee® line of baked goods.

“We’re glad to invest in our Tarboro plant, which will mean more jobs for the city,” said Wes Morris, president of prepared foods for Tyson Foods said in a statement. “The existing infrastructure, location and availability of a qualified workforce make the plant ideal for this expansion project.”  
 
The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant of up to $300,000 from the One North Carolina Fund, Edgecombe County, and the town of Tarboro.
