"Governor Hochul and Coca-Cola Break Ground on Northeast's Largest Fairlife® Dairy Facility"

Governor Kathy Hochul and The Coca-Cola Company celebrated the groundbreaking of a new fairlife production facility in Monroe County, a $650 million investment expected to create approximately 250 new jobs in the Town of Webster. The facility, expected to be operational by Q4 of 2025, will serve as fairlife’s flagship Northeast location. Governor Hochul made a personal pitch for the company to choose New York based on the state’s reputation as an agribusiness global leader, and announced $20 million state support to assist the town with needed infrastructure upgrades for its state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant. The investment complements the "Finger Lakes Forward" strategy to revitalize communities and grow the economy.
