“We continue to greatly value our partnership with GOED and Box Elder County,” said Joe Tomon, plant manager of the P&G’s Box Elder facility. “Our expansion is a result of consumer and customer demand, and we couldn’t be more pleased to meet that demand with the excellent workforce of Box Elder County.”
 
The GOED Board has approved a post-performance tax credit not to exceed $4,191,954.
 
"Procter & Gamble continues to be a great employer here in Box Elder County.  We are excited and grateful they have chosen to expand and bring more high-paying jobs to our residents. They are a great asset and partner in our community," said Box Elder County Commissioner Jeff Hadfield.

The company started production here in 2011 and invested again in spring 2018, and continues today to expand its state-of-the-art facility,” said Theresa A. Foxley, president and CEO of EDCUtah. “With wages above the county average, these are high-quality manufacturing jobs for Box Elder County.”
