- Tyson Foods is closing its Eagle Mountain plant in Utah, affecting more than 700 workers, per KUTV and The Salt Lake Tribune.
- Tyson Foods expanded to Utah only five years ago before announcing the layoffs, a timeline highlighted by The Salt Lake Tribune.
- Tyson Foods is also selling its Tri-Cities area plant and closing others as the beef market struggles, per Tri-City Herald.
Why it matters: More than 700 Utah workers lose their jobs at a Tyson plant that opened just five years ago, while the company simultaneously sheds additional facilities as beef market conditions deteriorate — a sharp reversal for a region that recently welcomed the investment.
