Pinnacle Foods Group will expand its operations in the Town of Darien, Walworth County thanks in part to a loan from the Town of Darien from the Department of Commerce (Commerce).

The Town of Darien has received a $1,306,000 loan from the Community Development Block Grant-Economic Development Program administered by Commerce. The funds will be used by the company to purchase equipment and by the Municipality for administration. The total project cost is $39.4 million.
