"UPSIDE Foods chooses Glenview, Illinois for lab-grown meat production facility"
Upside Foods, a California-based cultivated meat company, has announced that it will be the first tenant at the former Allstate campus in Glenview, Illinois, which is being redeveloped as a logistics center. The company will lease 187,000 square feet of space and plans to begin operations in 2025. Upside Foods, which received approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sell lab-grown meat, will invest $140 million in the facility and create at least 75 new jobs. The Glenview plant will be one of the largest cultivated meat production facilities in the world and will initially produce ground cultivated chicken products.
