If it all comes to fruition, it'll be a major boost to the local economy.

We've learned Donald's Fine Foods, the owner/operator of Thunder Creek Pork in Moose Jaw, has purchased the former XL BEEF plant on Caribou Street West.

That plant has been closed for about 10 years.

Our source tells us Thunder Creek Pork will continue to operate on South Hill but, they'll expand their operation, converting the old beef packing plant into an abattoir for sows.

We're also hearing it'll be a $20 million investment that will create up to 100 new jobs in our city.

We have yet to get an official word from Donald's Fine Foods.
