NoDak Meats LLC marked the opening of its new meat processing facility in Steele, ND, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Jan. 8.
The launch of this facility was made possible through a $623,833 loan provided by the Lewis and Clark Development Group. The funds were secured through a grant from the USDA’s Rural Development’s Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program, designed to support the financing of start-ups, expansions and operations in meat and poultry processing establishments.
“The opening of NoDak Meats in Steele is a perfect example of how the administration’s priorities and our federal resources are investing in and benefiting our North Dakota communities, small, rural businesses, and the entire food supply chain—from producer to consumer,” said Erin Oban, USDA state director of Rural Development.
