Costco Wholesale Corp. has filed a petition for annexing and rezoning land for a poultry processing complex at Hills Farm, an industrial tract located south of Cloverly Road in Fremont, Neb., according to local WOWT News.

This is the latest action toward locating the new plant, which would bring 1,100 jobs to the area.

Earlier this month, the city council in Fremont agreed by a 7-0 vote to pursue the first of what would be a series of steps necessary to annex a parcel of land near the site of the possible chicken processing plant. The city already owns the parcel, but it needs to be brought within city limits to qualify for tax-increment financing for development.
