Lakeside Foods to Expand

Lakeside Goods Inc. announced plans today to a more than $40 million expansion on South 30th St. in Manitowoc. The proposed expansion is part of a larger growth plan that’ll create an estimated 40 jobs including skilled-operator positions. The current facility runs 7 days a week packaging hundreds of millions of pounds of product annually for more than 100 private-label customers. The planned expansion includes a 100,000 square foot addition which possibly could house a larger frozen warehouse & increased refrigerated space along with additional office and ancillary space. Pending final city approval to include a special tax incremental financing district, groundbreaking could occur this spring with a targeted completion date of spring 2019.
