The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service awarded $200,000 to Big Sandy Meat Shop LLC, doing business as Hi-Line Packing, through the Meat and Poultry Inspection Readiness Grants – Supplemental Funding program. This Project Grant will support costs incurred by Hi-Line Packing to obtain a Federal "Grant of Inspection" as it works to apply for a federal grant of inspection. The Meat and Poultry Inspection Readiness Grants program provides funding to meat and poultry slaughter and processing facilities for improvements and planning activities necessary to qualify for inspection under the Federal Meat Inspection Act. Hi-Line Packing will use the September 30, 2021 award to cover relevant expenses as it progresses toward applying for inspection approval by the projected July 1, 2022 completion date.
