Three related businesses are planning to move into a former Central State Hospital building in Milledgeville, creating more than 300 jobs over five years.
Georgia’s Agribusiness Development Center, which has been created at the Parham Kitchen on the Central State campus, will include space for a private food service entity to operate, an agribusiness incubator and a distribution and warehousing co-operative, said Mike Couch, executive director of Central State Hospital Local Redevelopment Authority. The authority has been working on the multimillion dollar deal for nearly three years, he said.
The 100,000-square-foot building will be renovated and brought up to current standards and will become a USDA certified food production facility, Couch said.
