Lawton Meat Processors in Lawton, OK, held its grand reopening for its upgraded facility after receiving a $200,000 grant from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture.
With the grant, the new owners were able to build a new office, expand the meat cooler and complete several other projects to be in compliance.
“Those updates were necessary and crucial to get back open,” Morgan Satterwhite, owner of Lawton Meat Processing, told local outlet KSWO. “The state department required updates to be up to compliance with today’s laws, and without that grant, we wouldn’t be able to be open today, and we’re very thankful for that.” The processor has been closed since March 2020.
