    The plan to build a pork processing facility in Mason City is officially canceled.
    Prestage Foods of Iowa announced Friday it was no longer considering Mason City as a potential location for its proposed $240 million pork processing facility. The Mason City Chamber of Commerce and the North Iowa Corridor Economic Development Corporation tried to facilitate further discussion and encourage a second development agreement, but Prestage has decided to look elsewhere.
    On June 2, the Chamber of Commerce and North Iowa Corridor invited business and community leaders from around the area to attend an informative meeting about the project. However, no Prestage representatives showed up.
