GOSHEN—There were close to 100 people for a hearing on Amy’s Kitchen at the Goshen Town Planning Board meeting May 30 with some people standing near the walls.
Representatives from Amy’s, an organic food manufacturer, presented their Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and site plan for a 369,000 square foot food processing plant and a 200,000 square foot event space for Science of the Soul, a spiritual practice the owners are involved with.
According to their calculations, the manufacturing plant, just north of Route 17M, will create 681 jobs on site and another 190 indirect yearly operational jobs. By the end of its 15-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), they estimate the plant will generate $4.7 million in property and non-property taxes a year.
