Over 100 people have found new employment since Litehouse Foods expanded its operations in Southern Utah with a $40 million investment in May, and more jobs will continue to be added in the coming years. Since the May expansion, the company has added 103 new full-time positions at the Hurricane facility, and the company forecasts offering 75-100 more as the expansion continues.
Litehouse Foods may earn up to 20 percent of the new state taxes it will pay after the jobs expansion in the form of a post-performance economic development tax increment finance tax credit rebate. In order to secure these incentives, total company wages in aggregate are required to exceed 110 percent of the Washington County average wage. St. George News
