Prosser after the closure of the Conagra Foods french fry plant

May 30, 2010
The last day for most of the 250 workers at the massive potato processing plant was Friday. A couple of dozen will remain to maintain the cold storage facility, and a few dozen more will linger until mid-June to secure the 300,000-square-foot building that sits on 16 acres.

The initial announcement two months ago that plant would close sent a shock wave through the town of 5,200. Losing 250 jobs could put about 100 Prosser families and many more from Sunnyside and Grandview into a financial squeeze. It means about $400,000 a year no longer will go into city coffers for taxes and other revenues from plant operation.
