Chobani will invest about $1.2 billion to build a 1.5-million-square-foot dairy production facility in Allentown, PA, creating roughly 900 jobs over the next five years and producing nearly 3 billion pounds of milk annually. It’s described as the largest private investment in Pennsylvania agriculture, backed by $50 million in PA SITES loans/grants and $127 million in dairy-farm funding; some current employees will be retained while others will be offered positions with Chobani, and production is slated to begin next year. The company is also expanding its Norton Shores, Michigan facility.
