The Longmont City Council is to hold a public hearing and consider final approval Tuesday night of a $6.5 million economic development incentive package for the J.M. Smucker Company's proposed $340 million manufacturing facility for Smucker's Uncrustables product.

Smucker's is proposing the facility for a site inside the Weld County portion of Longmont's city limits near County Line Road and Ken Pratt Boulevard/Colo. 119, starting with a 200,000-square-foot first phase that the company and city officials have said would create a projected 250 full-time jobs.

Council members unanimously voted their preliminary approval of the ordinance detailing Longmont's incentives agreement with the Smucker company on Feb. 7.

Tuesday's public hearing and possible final Longmont council action on the ordinance will come during a meeting that starts at 7 p.m. in the Civic Center Council Chambers, 350 Kimbark St., Longmont.
