Creekstone Farms Expands Its Beef Processing Center In Arkansas City, Kansas
12/10/2013
The firm processes naturally and conventionally raised premium Black Angus beef at 604 Goff Industrial Park Road in Arkansas City. The company plans to replace areas of the existing building damaged by a recent fire. An additional 71,000 square foot building will include a new refrigerated fabrication floor area, packaging, combo cooler storage, refrigerated truck docks, processing support and equipment rooms, inspection and production offices and employee welfare spaces.
“We are pleased to announce that Creekstone will be continuing its production in Arkansas City and is planning to expand as well,” said Creekstone’s General Counsel, S. Douglas Mackay. “With assistance and support from both state and local officials, we have been able to lay out a long-term plan that will grow Creekstone and add jobs.”
“Creekstone Farms is an important contributor to our state’s economic growth and will continue to invest and create good jobs in Arkansas City,” Gov. Sam Brownback said. “It is great to see the company achieve success through its hard work. I would like to congratulate Creekstone and thank the company for its commitment to Kansas.”
“Creekstone provides vital jobs to Arkansas City and surrounding communities,” said Kerri Falletti, Cowley County Economic Development Partnership Director. “We have enjoyed working with the great staff at Creekstone through this process and look forward to continued work to see them grow.”
“We are excited to have Creekstone committing to be a long-term partner in our community,” said Nick Hernandez, Arkansas City’s city manager. “Arkansas City is likewise committed to assisting them in any way we can through this plan for growth.”
The Kansas Department of Commerce teamed with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Kansas Department of Transportation, Arkansas City leadership and Cowley County Economic Development Partnership to support Creekstone’s expansion.
