Bailey says Daily Premium Meats will invest about $95 million dollars in building construction and new equipment. She adds the company selected St. Joseph for the expansion in part due to incentives such as the Chapter 100 program, Missouri works, and a utility economic development rider from Evergy and Spire, Incorporated.
