Governor Kathy Hochul today, during Dairy Month, announced the completion of Agri-Mark's nearly $30 million expansion and modernization project at its cheese manufacturing facility in Chateaugay, Franklin County. The expansion, which was a multi-phase project, is retaining more than 100 full-time jobs, supporting more than 500 agricultural jobs in the region, and helping to boost the state’s dairy industry in Northern New York. Agri-Mark’s North Country facility produces award-winning Cabot and McCadam cheese products.

“The successful completion of Agri-Mark's state-of-the-art cheese production facility comes at the perfect time as we celebrate Dairy Month this June,” Governor Hochul said. “Not only will it support hundreds of jobs in the region, but it will ensure that New Yorkers and people around the globe can enjoy the award-winning cheeses coming straight from the dairy farmers of Upstate New York.”

Today’s ribbon cutting marked the completion of a 9,600 square-foot expansion. The most recent addition was a state-of-the-art cheese production room, which has improved the facility’s efficiency. The expansion project also included the rebuilding of the 110,000 square-foot manufacturing center, reconfiguring the layout of the facility, and purchasing new equipment and machinery.
