Fairlife Breaks Ground for Massive Dairy Processing Plant in Webster

Fairlife Breaks Ground for Massive Dairy Processing Plant in Webster


Governor Kathy Hochul and other area officials helped with the ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday for a massive dairy processing facility in the Town of Webster.

The facility to be built off Tebor Road involves a $650 million investment by fairlife, a company that makes ultra-filtered milk products. It is owned by Coca Cola.

The project is expected to create several hundred construction jobs and about 250 permanent jobs, with the possibility that workforce could eventually grow.

Hochul said the fairlife plant will benefit the area’s economy in a number of ways, including by helping the agricultural community.

“We have over 3,000 dairy farmers here, and this is a lifeline for them as well, this gives them hope, and I believe in them,” said Hochul. “I’ve toured so many dairy farms around the state, this is such a big deal to them as well.”

Fairlife CEO Tim Doelman said there are a number of reasons the company chose this region for the new plant.
