Byrne Dairy, a New York dairy company located in Syracuse, is moving forward with a $120 million expansion of its manufacturing facility in Cortlandville, aiming to add nearly 250 new jobs through four development phases.
According to the plans submitted this month by the Cortlandville Planning Board, the next step (Phase 2A) of the project will include 26,000 square feet of production space and three new stainless-steel silos. This expansion should be completed within six months of the plan’s approval.
Upon the completion of Phase 2A, Phase 2B will also bring major enhancements to the facility – adding nearly 75,000 square feet of new production space to support increased manufacturing capacity. The expansion will also include the construction of a dedicated truck access road, improving logistics and streamlining transportation. This phase is expected to cost $24 million and create 84 jobs.
Lastly, Phases 3 and 4 will expand the facility with over 150,000 square feet of new processing and batching space. These phases, contingent on favorable economic conditions, are expected to be completed within 12 months of construction commencement. Together, they represent a projected investment of $86 million.
