Smithfield Foods said Wednesday it will spend more than $45 million to expand blast cell cold storage capabilities at its pork plant in Tar Heel, N.C., according to a local media report.

The expansion will call for about 30 new jobs at the Tar Heel plant and new positions within the company’s logistics partner.
The expansion will boost the plant’s capacity by 140 million pounds beginning in 2018.
