Agribusiness expansion to boost local farms and job market in Winchester area
Governor Terry McAuliffe Jan. 8 announced that Shawnee Canning Company, a family-owned fruit processor, will invest nearly $500,000 to expand its operation in Frederick County, in the Winchester area.
The company will rehabilitate its cannery, built in 1947, and double production capacity on-site by adding a new filling line for its fruit products.
With this expansion, Shawnee Canning Company will create five new jobs and commit to purchase 80 percent – or over 300,000 pounds – of its fruit from Virginia over the next three years.
