Some restoration work is under way at the destroyed Wild River Foods potato processing plant in Grandview, but the plant's owners said in a letter Monday that they still haven't decided if they will rebuild.
A sparking electrical panel caused a fire that destroyed the plant July 2.
The letter said the company planned to finish restoring its cold storage refrigeration facility Monday to "deal with the product inside."
