General Mills Operations Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Mills Inc., will invest approximately $32 million to expand its Yoplait yogurt plant in Reed City, Mich. The project will create 25 new jobs.

The Michigan Economic Growth Authority board approved a state tax credit valued at $166,000 over seven years. To assist the expansion, the MEDC will make available $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for wastewater treatment plant improvements. Reed City has approved a 12-year abatement worth $5 million to support the project.

“General Mills’ expansion of our Reed City facility will include investments in technology and improvements to the plant. A key factor in this investment is our partnership with the state of Michigan,” said General Mills Plant Manager Susan Fleitman. “The Reed City facility has been part of this community for more than 100 years, and General Mills is proud to build on that legacy.”
