The two senior levels of government are giving $2.5 million towards construction of a $50-million dairy facility in St. Boniface.
The Parmalat Canada facility will be built in phase two of the St. Boniface Industrial Park, allowing the company to increase production with modern equipment in a neighbourhood more suitable for its business. Government funding from the feds and province will be used for energy and water-use reduction equipment, waste-water treatment, and new processing equipment, government officials said.
Earlier this year, city officials announced it would sell city-owned property to Parmalat Canada for $2.625 million to keep the company in Winnipeg. In return, the city and province will contribute to the $5.61-million cost to extend electrical and water services to the new facility.
