The City of Columbia would like to announce that Synergy Food Group will hopefully be locating in our community in the immediate future.
“We are pleased to announce Synergy’s intent upon funding approval to locate their next site in our town,” said Mayor Pamela Hoots.
Synergy Food Group is headquartered in Mufreesboro,Tennessee. They have SQF certified production facilities located in Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Iowa, and Nebraska.
One of their food products includes pot pies. The pot pies come in various flavors and have won awards. Flavors include: Chicken Cordon Bleu, Broccoli Cheese, Beef Shepherd’s pie, and others. “The company offers shelf stable meals and is currently serving several venues, including senior centers and schools across the United States” said Hoots.
“The group has ties to south-central Kentucky,” said Hoots. Synergy’s managing member, Greg Durrett, is a Green County native and his brother, Barry, also works in the company. Their father was a former sheriff of Green County and former county judge.
“We have been working with Synergy for approximately one year,” said Hoots. “We are pleased that they have chosen Columbia, KY to be considered for their next location.”
In comments, Greg Durrett said, “We are excited for the prospect to be in south-central Kentucky where our family’s roots continue to be. We appreciate the work of the Mayor and the City of Columbia to bring jobs to Columbia.”
The project is dependent upon approval of funding application and more details will be announced soon.
