MARSHALL — ConAgra Foods will add a new production line and 160 jobs to its plant here because of state tax credits from the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
“We’ve received some of the incentives from the state,” said Stephanie Childs, a spokeswoman for ConAgra in Omaha, Neb. “We’re continuing to work with the city of Marshall on other incentives.”
