Last Friday, the city of Lexington received the devastating news that Tyson Foods, the largest employer in the area, will close its plant on Jan. 20. When a town of just over 10,000 loses over 3,200 jobs, it is a big deal.
This, of course, is not the first time Lexington has experienced an impact like this. When the New Holland combine plant decided to close its doors at the same location, it took a lot of hard work, but the local leaders – with the help of state incentives – successfully recruited IBP to buy and convert the plant to a beef packing plant.
