wednesday, March 4, 1998 Edgar plant is sold The vice president of a southeast Wisconsin cold storage company said Tuesday that his firm has an accepted offer to purchase the closed ConAgra beef packing plant in Edgar.
Mike Pokel of Geneva Lakes Cold Storage, Darien, said he expects to close on the deal March 16. He declined to report the purchase price.
Pokel said his company hopes to lease out space in the Edgar facility to a food processor as well as service northern Wisconsin clients with cold storage. The facility will not be used for animal slaughter, he said.
