Governor Josh Shapiro announced the Commonwealth is investing more than $4 million to support Kettle & Fire's first company-owned manufacturing facility - which will inject more than $19.1 million into the local economy and create at least 149 new, good-paying jobs in Lancaster County. The new KettleWorks facility - located at 425 Ben Franklin Boulevard in Lancaster - spans 167,000 square feet and is equipped with advanced food production systems to support the company's growing product line. Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger joined Kettle & Fire leadership to cut the ribbon on the new plant. "When a fast-growing company like Kettle & Fire chooses to build its first manufacturing facility right here in Pennsylvania, it shows that our Commonwealth has what it takes to compete and win in today's economy," said Governor Shapiro. "From day one, my Administration has been focused on creating jobs, strengthening our agriculture and manufacturing sectors, and making Pennsylvania the best place to live, work, and grow a business - and this announcement is proof that our strategy is working. My Administration will continue to secure major investments in our economy, create jobs, and open up the doors of opportunity for more Pennsylvanians."List of Speakers:Brian Hack, CEO of Kettle & FireJustin Mares, Co-founder of Kettle & Fire DCED Secretary Rick SigerArmando Ramirez, Chief Operating Officer of Kettle & Fire Mark Fitzgerald, President and Chief Operating Officer of HREG
