SPR Packaging Opens $100 Million Plant In Greenville

Read the story & commentary question

SPR Packaging is opening a new manufacturing plant in Greenville, Texas, at a 103,000-square-foot site off State Highway 66. Reports describe the project as a $100 million investment while a separate project record lists estimated construction costs at $50 million and notes a longer-than-average build window and a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes approval from the city council.

Consider: How will your operations adapt if a nearby competitor adds significant plastic film production capacity and benefits from local tax incentives?
