Pioneer Frozen Foods dough rises to $10M Dallas facility

DALLAS – Pioneer Frozen Foods Inc. plans to build a new $10 million food production facility at 4616 Langdon Rd. in southern Dallas.

The 50-acre, 132,000-sf building is the former home of the Dallas Morning News. It will help Duncanville-based Pioneer expand its operations for its Pioneer Brand line of frozen food products.

The city’s economic development committee agreed to an economic incentive agreement to help Pioneer redevelop the property, which includes a 75 percent business personal property tax abatement for eight years on the added value of equipment and other business personal property in the facility.

Pioneer plans to invest a minimum of $100,000 in real property improvements and other related costs tied to design, engineering and architects. The company plans to invest a minimum of $10 million in business personal property.

The project will need to be substantially completed and employ a minimum of 25 full-time equivalent employees on site by Dec. 31, 2016.
