Frito-Lay revives plan for $180 million plant with 180 jobs in Osceola County

POET-Ashton gets back to full capacity

ASHTON—When it shut down its Ashton plant and furloughed workers there last spring, POET Biorefining was facing unprecedented uncertainty, but the future is bright after more than a year of doing business in the pandemic. When the plant was put on idle, it employed 36 people, making it a “key employer” in the area according to Stephanie Neppl, director of the Osceola County Economic Development Commission. Since restarting production in August, the POET plant south of Ashton has hired back workers who had not found a position elsewhere. “The job openings countywide are substantial, and many businesses want to add more jobs and shifts,” Neppl said. “Finding people who are able and want to work and fill our positions is a big challenge — it was pre-COVID and our unemployment rate is back under 3 percent.”
