More jobs are coming to Jacksonville.
We first learned in January that Greencore USA, Inc. intended to grow locally. The company, located on the Northside, already employs 259 people. In January, the announced an intention to invest $7 million and add 160 more jobs. That growth has now been enhanced to $10 million and 283 new jobs.
“These jobs will be very helpful to a lot of folks and just be great to our economy,” says JaxUSA Partnership President Jerry Mallot.
Greencore USA is an Ireland-based food service which is expanding domestically. The company met with Jacksonville leaders while traveling in London with the Jaguars, and they say those meetings are a large reason for the expansion.
The expansion is subject to approval of city incentives.
