The world’s largest food company has its sights set on joining west Glendale’s booming manufacturing roster.
At next Tuesday evening’s meeting, the city council will consider Nestlé USA’s zoning application to build a 142-acre manufacturing facility with a $400 million investment that, according to one analysis, could create an economic impact of $2.1 billion in the city of Glendale over the next 10 years.
The site being considered is between Northern Avenue and Northern Parkway, a half mile east of Reems Road.
Phoenix-based economic consulting firm Applied Economics in a 10-year impact forecast estimates Nestlé could create 200 jobs by the fourth year of operations at an average wage of $60,775.
