Stella & Chewyâs, a premium natural pet food company, is expanding its facility in Oak Creek, Wis., officials from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) said in statement. The $67.7 million project is expected to create 245 jobs over the next three years.
The WEDC is supporting the project by authorizing up to $2 million in state income tax credits over the next three years, officials said. The actual amount of tax credits Stella & Chewyâs will receive is contingent upon the number of jobs created, officials added.
âThis investment will enable Stella & Chewyâs to position itself for continued growth and success, and at the same time, create jobs in Milwaukee County,â said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC. âCompanies have a choice when deciding to expand, and the decision by Stella & Chewyâs to establish another facility in Oak Creek is a testament to Wisconsinâs strong business climate and dedicated workforce.â
