What does this mean for Du Mond Grain, LLC?
We have had constructive meetings, answering questions, asking questions and finding the answers. We have written an SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) for the Soy oil and we have written and had our Environmental Impact Statement presented to the Board of Directors. We have had traffic studies completed and site plans built. We have worked with our neighbors and other stakeholders to get their support and we have presented and represented our plans to the Town of Fleming Planning Board.
Next week, after our public hearing, we will know if all of this hard work will pay off!! We are hopeful and look forward to bringing a Soybean Extrusion Facility, jobs, and tax revenue to the Town of Fleming.
