The Governments of Canada and British Columbia are contributing funding towards the development of a business plan as the next step in having a federally-inspected beef processing plant up and running in Prince George.
 
The BC Cattlemen's Association (BCCA) will receive up to $144,000 of federal and provincial government funding to identify supply chain and investment partners, and develop business models for the ownership and operation of the plant. The BCCA will also contribute up to $16,000 for the development of the plan, which will incorporate a marketing and sales strategy, defined production and operation requirements, as well as financial, human resource and contingency plans.
