WWNY-TV reports that a $54 million soybean processing plant is planned for Massena. It would serve north country and Canadian farmers.
Not a lot of farmers grow soybeans in the north country. In part, it's because they have to be trucked hundreds of miles away to be processed. But that could soon change.
“It's a soybean plant they're going to be developing...which is probably going to be around a $54 million project when it's completed,” said Vance Fleury, chair of the Massena Town Planning Board.
