Nebraska kosher slaughterhouse up for sale
AP
GORDON, Neb. -The city of Gordon is trying to sell the local kosher slaughterhouse that closed because of the financial difficulties of its owner, Agriprocessors Inc.
City manager Fred Hlava (huh-LAVA) said Wednesday that he's talked to several parties — some interested in restarting a kosher operation and others who would employ conventional processes.
The city joined with First Bank Business Capital Inc. to buy the Local Pride plant for $300,000 during last week's bankruptcy auction.
Agriprocessors filed bankruptcy in November 2008, following immigration raids at its Postville, Iowa, plant.
Hlava says Gordon has a lien on the land because Agriprocessors didn't meet terms of a state economic development grant, and the bank has a lien on the plant's equipment.
