A statement from the office of Gov. Togiola Tulafono says the deal was reached Tuesday in Honolulu following two days of discussions. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
The COS Samoa Packing plant was closed Sept. 30, 2009, costing the jobs of more than 2,000 workers in the U.S. territory.
Before departing American Samoa last Friday for the discussions, Tulafono told reporters it could take six months to get the plant up and running again.
The territory was involved in the talks because it owns the land where the plant is located.
