Funding Secured for N.Y. Processing Plant
September 24, 2010
The federal government has invested $800,000 toward the construction of the Southern Catskills Red Meat Processing Facility in Liberty, N.Y.
The $1.7 million, 5,000-square-foot facility is expected to support the creation of three to five jobs at the plant as well as at least 50 new agricultural jobs. Construction is expected to begin next spring with a completion date in 2012.
Farmers in Sullivan County and the surrounding area currently have to travel several hours with their livestock to process meats.
