Grant To Help Redevelop Closed Packinghouse

Des Moines Register:

Sioux City will receive a $2 million federal grant to help with the redevelopment of the former John Morrell meat packing plant. The project is expected to spur $10 million in private investment and create 200 jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The Economic Development Administration grant will help the city redevelop the former meatpacking site to make way for a 65,000-square-foot production plant planned by Global Foods Processing, a longtime Sioux City employer that has about 175 existing workers.
Officials say the new facility will be a “technology-driven meat processing facility.”
The grant will help pay for demolition of existing building and improvements to access road, sewer and utility infrastructure, the federal agency says.
In March, EDA provided a $40,000 grant to Sioux City to support the development of a local economic planning strategy following the Morrell closure.

A technology-driven meat processing facility?  Is this primary processing?  I wonder how far off slaughterhouse robots are.  With the reliance on immigrant labor, sometimes without valid papers, I would guess it isn't too far off.
