In an update to our broadcast reports and those online, Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman, Monday, sent out a new agenda for Wednesday morning’s meeting. In the update, discussion and action on a property tax abatement for the ADM elevator requested by Pipeline Foods, LLC., was removed from the schedule.

Officials with Pipeline had requested the five-year property tax abatement during the Supervisor’s meeting on Aug. 8th, but it was taken under advisement at that time. Pipeline Foods – a developer of supply chains in agriculture with a focus on organic foods and feeds, grains, oilseeds, and ingredients will be acquiring, converting and utilizing the ADM facility for organic grain handling.

Their plan is to acquire the facility in mid-September. The only “action item” on the agenda Wednesday, is to approve a beer permit for the 21st Century Co-Op C Store, in Massena.
