CITIES & INVESTORS

A $20M Manufacturing Headquarters + Workforce Innovation Hub

One Site. One Partnership. Long-Term Impact.

Pork King Good is a nationally distributed, USDA-certified food manufacturer that has outgrown its current 42,000 square foot facility.

We are relocating.

We are seeking a partner city to relocate our USDA food manufacturing headquarters alongside building The Lost Club — a nonprofit workforce development and plastic diversion lab.

This is not a request for a handout.

It is an opportunity to secure a growing national brand, permanent manufacturing jobs, and a scalable workforce pipeline in a single integrated project.

The Project

  • $12M in gross sales (2025)

  • 7,000+ retail locations nationwide

  • USDA-certified manufacturing operation

  • 30+ employees today

  • Scaling to 50+ full-time employees in the next 18-24 months

  • Woman-owned family business recognized for innovation

We require approximately 100,000 square feet, including 10,000 square feet of frozen warehouse space to internalize logistics and fulfillment.

  • 5,000–10,000 square feet to start

  • Student-led plastic fabrication lab

  • Workforce development for high school and college students

  • Converts clean manufacturing plastic scrap into usable products

  • Creates a direct pipeline into local industry

One site. Two operations. Integrated by design.

What We Are Seeking

  • 5–10 acres of land or a rehabilitatable industrial building

  • Zoning flexibility for integrated manufacturing and nonprofit operations

  • Economic development partnership, which may include:

    • TIF support

    • Tax abatement

    • Infrastructure assistance

    • Grants or low-interest financing

    • Brownfield redevelopment incentives

    We are open to creative structures that align long-term success for both parties.

Pork King Good is prepared to invest substantially in this project.

We are seeking a city equally committed to growth, industry, and long-term partnership.

Why Now

Manufacturing workforce pipelines are shrinking. Skilled trades programs have declined statewide for years. At the same time, Extended Producer Responsibility legislation is increasing pressure on companies to manage packaging waste responsibly.

This project positions a partner city ahead of both trends.

We are not early.
We are aligned with where manufacturing is headed.
