Building Infrastructure to Support Kingston's First Baby Formula Facility

Ontario is partnering with the City of Kingston to improve the infrastructure needed to establish Kingston's first baby formula production facility, which will create up to 277 new jobs in the community.
With support from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund, the municipality will invest in road, water and sewer infrastructure to facilitate construction of a 320,000 square foot infant milk formula processing plant by Canada Royal Milk. Once operational in 2020, the plant will require significant volumes of milk, which will support the growth of Ontario's dairy cow and goat sectors.
