$300,000 for Meat Processing Plants' Modernisation
US – Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has announced $300,000 in Meat Processing Facility Investment Credits for 17 meat processors.
DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski made the announcement on behalf of the Governor at an event at Nueske’s Meat Products in Shawano County. Nueske’s received a $20,943 grant to upgrade its equipment and facility and create 12 jobs.
“In Wisconsin one of our great, great strengths is in food processing,” Governor Doyle said.
“It is critical that we continue to invest in this industry, even in these really tough national economic times. We have already seen the powerful effects modernization tax credits can have on our state agriculture industry. The new meat processing facility tax credits will build on the success of our dairy modernization tax credits to help Wisconsin processors modernize, expand and compete in the global market.”
The Meat Processing Facility Investment Credit program was created in the Governor’s last budget to support the modernization of the state’s meat processing industry.
The tax credits build on the success of the state’s dairy modernization and investment tax programmes.
The programme provides a tax credit for up to 10 per cent of the expenditures meat processors invest in modernization or expansion. Eligible costs include construction, additions, utility upgrades, equipment, technology and other upgrades.
This is the first year that meat processors can apply for the tax credits. In the next fiscal year, $700,000 will be available for the programme. The program will continue until 1 January 2017.
Note To My Critics:
The links to the many sites that I've included contain information that I believe to be relevant, be it the graphics, the videos, the undercover investigations, etc. . Exposing & and ending the brutality and savagery inflicted on the non-human animals is what I am focused on. I strongly believe that every voice against animal abuse/exploitation is of value and -and- collectively we have the power to end it. I am here for the animals, not for anyone's approval and for that I make no apologies. ** I do not promote violence towards humans.
