There just isn't enough room in the Genesee Valley Ag Park on the east side of the Town of Batavia for a project as large as the Fairlife plant announced today in Monroe County.
The 745,000-square-foot facility will be built by Coca-Cola and create an estimated 250 jobs in the Town of Webster. The company is expected to invest $650 million in the project.
