Lance Private Brands May Soon be Baking More than Snack Crackers at Burlington Plant

It all depends on state tax credits, but there may be dozens of new jobs coming to Burlington’s Lance Private Brands plant.

Economic Development Director David Toyer revealed at tonight’s City Council work session that the corporate parent of Snyder’s-Lance, Shearer’s Foods, LLC, wants to build a $30,000,000 addition to the local factory, add a new line of baked goods and create 83 new jobs, at an average salary of $16.20 per hour.

The Council gave its unofficial blessing to the Greater Burlington Partnership to apply for the tax credits.
