Congratulations to #KYBacked Victory Hemp Foods team on securing $2.3M in funding to expand in Carrollton, KY!
Celebrating a significant milestone for Victory and its community of stakeholders, including the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, The Hemp Industry, loyal customers, and local farmers poised to deliver up to 4,000 acres of annual production in the initial phase. After a dedicated year-long effort, Victory secured $2.3MM in New Market Tax Credit funds, a timely boost enabling the company to finalize the first phase of a substantial capacity expansion for hemp heart protein and oil. This advancement positions Victory as the premier manufacturer of Hemp Heart Protein and Oil in North America. While tariffs may increase food costs, the expansion of our manufacturing facility in Carrollton, KY is anticipated to assist food producers in managing expenses and offering cost-effective options to consumers, all crafted from the nutritious super seed cultivated by our farmers. This achievement stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various state and Federal Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), including Weave Capital LP, AMCREF Community Capital, LLC, Enhanced Capital, Broadstreet Impact Services, Novogradac & Company LLP, and U.S. Bank, alongside our dedicated team members Tyler and Anthony. #V70™ #madeintheusa #kentuckyproud #plantprotein #completenutrition #productlaunch #smoothieoftheday #HealthyEating #HempHearts #ProteinPacked #VictoryHempFoods #CDFI #NMTC #manufacturing #SQF FoodProcessMagazine Sosland Publishing
