The Pennsylvania State Grange is welcoming Chobani’s announcement to invest $1.2 billion in a dairy-product manufacturing operation in Pennsylvania.
The investment is the largest private investment in Pennsylvania agriculture in the Commonwealth’s history. It looks to bring Chobani’s operations to an existing 1.5 million-square-foot facility in Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County.
