Southern Roots' new pecan processing facility in Dothan is expected to create 120 jobs over the next two years.
Southern Roots Nut Co. plans a $16M pecan processing facility in Dothan; $30M will support industry-ready sites under Alabama SEEDS program.
Alabama is already known agriculturally nationwide for its pecan production. Now, that profile is set to grow even further after New Mexico-based Southern Roots Nut Co. announced recently that it will be opening a pecan processing facility in Dothan.
The program aims to build "a more robust innovation pipeline in our state," MEDC CEO Quentin Messer Jr. said in a media briefing prior to today's Michigan Strategic Fund board meeting.
