Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BATAVIA, NY \u2013 The Genesee County Economic Development Center (GCEDC) Board of Directors advanced 3 projects with proposed investments of more than $31.5 million in Genesee County at its board meeting on Thursday, May 5, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GCEDC Board of Directors accepted an initial resolution for La Fermi\u00e8re\u2019s proposed $25 million project to construct a 50,000 sq. ft. yogurt manufacturing facility in the Genesee Valley Agri-Business Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed project adds to Batavia\u2019s Dairy Hub of the Northeast, which supports over 900 direct jobs, over $500 million of capital investment, and over 1 million square feet of dairy processing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Fermi\u00e8re has pledged to create up to 68 jobs over the first 3 years of operations in Genesee County.  Founded in France, the company has been active in US markets since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are ready to move to the next step. The next level for us is to make our very first big investment in the US and building a new state of the art facility here,\u201d La Fermi\u00e8re US Vice President Lucas Praticci said in a presentation to the GCEDC Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Fermi\u00e8re plans to produce French yogurt and dairy dessert products using fresh milk and cream at the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a unique product, and we are very proud to bring this culture and our culture here to the US,\u201d Praticci said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Fermi\u00e8re is requesting $1.8 million in property, sales, and mortgage tax assistance.\u00a0 The project is estimated to generate $54.9 million of local economic benefits over 10 years, equal to $43 dollars in economic activity for every $1 of public investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public hearing on the proposed project will be scheduled in the town of Batavia at Batavia Town Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GCEDC accepted an initial resolution from O-AT-KA Milk Products, LLC for a 3,246 sq. ft. expansion of its existing facility in the town of Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed $3.5 million investment will house two new 18,000-gallon tanks to increase capabilities of cream-based liquor beverages. The expansion proposes to create two new jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O-AT-KA Milk Products, LLC is requesting approximately $214,406 in property, sales, and mortgage tax assistance. The project is estimated to generate $3.5 million of local economic benefits over 10 years, equal to $27 dollars in economic activity for every $1 of public investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public hearing on the proposed project will be scheduled in the town of Batavia at Batavia Town Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GCEDC also approved a final resolution for Apple Tree Acres, LLC. The $3.15 million project will construct a stand-alone 50,000 sq. ft. facility in the Apple Tree Acres business park. Apple Tree Acres, LLC plans to create 3 new jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
