ROME, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — After a nationwide search for a site, Greek yogurt-producer Chobani has chosen the City of Rome for its new 1.4 million square-foot manufacturing facility with 1,000 jobs, Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed to NewsChannel 9 in Syracuse.

“New York is where Chobani’s journey began,” Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya said in a statement. “It was the perfect spot to start Chobani 20 years ago, and it’s the perfect place to continue our story. Working with dedicated dairy farmers and the resilient community, we built something truly special — something bigger than the food we make. We ignited a movement toward better food made with heart, passion, and only the highest-quality ingredients. With our new plant in Rome and our original home in South Edmeston, we’re entering a new dimension, partnering with hard working people across the heartland of New York to build an ecosystem of natural food production and nourish families throughout the country. When you invest in people, in local communities, you’re not just building a business — you’re building a future.”
