P&G distribution Center Should be Open for Business Next Month

Almost 100 people are employed at Procter & Gamble now, two years after construction began at the Greenfield, Box Elder County, site. That number will increase to about 300 by the end of the year. The human resources and external relations leader for Procter & Gamble, said the company’s distribution center is running test shipments before the official opening of the distribution center at the end of April. Currently the unemployment rate is 8.1 percent, in 2008, the county’s unemployment rate was 3.2 percent. Aside from providing much-needed jobs, Procter & Gamble will also bring financial gain to the county. Prior to the factory construction, the land it is on was farm ground with little taxable value.
