The proposed Sustainable Beef processing plant will likely receive $1 million to help pay for the studies to launch the project.
The city council will have the final say, but typically acts on the recommendations of the advisory committee of the North Platte Quality Growth Fund. The advisory committee recommended the funds Monday morning during a two-hour meeting.
The city council chamber was full, accommodating about 50 people.
The money will pay about 10% of an estimated $10 million cost of engineering, architecture, planning and other professional services for the proposed plant, CEO David Briggs said.
