Leprino Foods, the nation's biggest maker of mozzarella cheese, on Friday picked Greeley for the site of its new plant, Sen. Wayne Allard announced.
Greeley's former Western Sugar Cooperative site has been in the running for the site of Leprino's 10th plant for several months, and the City Council in January approved a special taxing district for the location.
Privately held Leprino is headquartered in Denver and has one other facility in Colorado, a cheesemaking plant in Fort Morgan.
