Monroe City’s $140M Food Hub Approved

Monroe City Council just approved a $140 million mega-project called “Project Clear,” set to become the largest capital investment in city history — bigger than the premium outlets or the new high school. This massive 390,000-square-foot food distribution center will create 93 new jobs and preserve 127 existing ones, while bringing in billions in payroll and tax revenue over 15 years. Backed by $124 million in private construction funds and $16 million for equipment, the project kicks off later this year with a full launch by early 2028. The city’s 75% tax abatement for 15 years sweetens the deal, while the company’s move to a larger space and sale of its old building clears room for other businesses — a win-win for economic growth.
