Ohio-based J.M. Smucker Co. will hold four informational sessions related to employment at its planned Longmont manufacturing plant, a $340 million facility that could employ up to 500 people if both phases are completed.

BizWest reported that the first meeting will take place Wednesday, Nov. 29 from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. at Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC), 315 N. 11th Ave, Building B, in Greeley.

Another session will take place there Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to noon. Longmont will host two sessions as well, on Dec. 1 and Dec. 11 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at ESWC’s Del Camino Office, 4209 Weld County Road 24½.

Longmont’s City Council in February passed a $6.5 million incentive package for the plant, which will manufacture Uncrustables, the company’s brand of frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The deal was contingent on future employees being paid 105 percent of Weld County’s average annual wage, or about $48,977.

The facility is located just over the Weld County line at Highway 119. Smucker paid $4.65 million for the land, a transaction that closed in May. Earlier this month, a company spokesperson said plans for the facility were unchanged, with production scheduled to start in 2019.
