St. Louis County will use an estimated $2.5 million in tax breaks to keep a package maker and its more than 200 jobs in the region.

Lured by the incentives, Packaging Concepts Inc. plans to build a new plant in Green Park Commerce Center to produce its specialized popcorn containers and other items. The plant, which will rise in the small city of Green Park in south St. Louis County, will replace two operations in the city of St. Louis.
