FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Food Tech TO DESIGN AND BUILD CHEESE PLANT FOR EDUCATIONAL/RECREATIONAL PINELAND FARMS
New Gloucester, ME, December 8, 2005 –
Massachusetts-based planning, engineering and construction firm Food Tech has been chosen to design and build a 13,000 SF specialty cheese plant at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, ME.
Pineland Farms , a 4,000 plus acre working farm, business campus and educational/recreational venue, is planning to construct the new cheese plant on its campus in order to utilize a portion of its annual milk production for value-added farmstead cheese products.
"The architecture is very engaging," says Mike Golden of Food Tech. "Our goal was to blend this building in with several other traditional wooden farm structures, so we are using a pre-engineered steel building with white side walls and deep green roof and a cupola on the roof…it looks great and is very cost effective."
The project was awarded to Food Tech by CB Richard Ellis/The Boulos Company, on behalf of October Corporation's owner, the Libra Foundation. The Libra Foundation makes grants to charitable projects in Maine or to projects that benefit Maine causes.
With offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, Food Tech (www.foodtech.com) specializes in the design and construction of food process and distribution facilities nationwide. For further information the company may be reached by email or phone, mgolden@foodtech.com; (800) 880-0118.
