Chocolate maker Hershey receives township approval for $200 million plant expansion

HERSHEY, Pa. -  Chocolate maker Hershey has gained township approval for a $200 million expansion project that would shift production from a century-old plant to a modern facility nearby.

 

Derry Township supervisors on Tuesday approved the final land development plans for the 243,000-square-foot expansion at a plant in West Hershey.

After construction is complete, production would shift to the expanded facility from the original plant built by company founder Milton Hershey.
