The mayor of Perry, Iowa has hope for a Tyson facility that is set to close and put 1,300 people out of work.
Perry Mayor Dirk Cavanaugh told a local radio station that despite stalled negotiations with a potential buyer for the facility, he is confident a deal will materialize.
Cavanaugh also shared plans to take a delegation of impacted community members to visit Tyson’s Arkansas headquarters to find a resolution.
He said they need Tyson to allow someone else to come in and help their rural community. Perry, Iowa is home to just under 8,000 people.
