TheMichigan State UniversityProduct Center hopes to break ground this fall on a new processing center that will allow second-stage food companies to test new products and markets before making sizable investments.
As planned, the $8 million Food Processing and Innovation Center will meet all state and federal food-processing requirements and licensing to let companies lease capacity and sell products made at the center.
The center is destined for an MSU-owned building in a business park south of the university's East Lansing campus, pending final approvals for an additional $1.6 million needed for the project from university trustees at their September meeting, said Matthew Birbeck, senior project director of the food processing center.
