LAS CRUCES — The Las Cruces City Council recently saluted Saputo, Inc., a Canada-based dairy processor, for its economic impact to the city as it formally closed a $2.8 million state- and city-funded grant agreement, enacted in 2021, that incentivized an expansion of the company’s local string cheese manufacturing facility.
According to the city’s Economic Development Department, Saputo stretched expectations along with its mozzarella, adding 216 jobs at an average wage of $44,227. A year and a half ahead of its deadline, Saputo reportedly exceeded its original promise of 150 jobs averaging $33,756 in pay, while making a $54.3 million capital investment over its promised $30 million.
