HISTORY OF THE RICHMOND CREAMERY
After years of neglect and environmental surveys, the property was deemed a brownfield and required over $1Million in clean up funds revitalize. From 2015 to 2018, Buttermilk LLC undertook the required environmental assessment, grant administration and clean up implementation to clean up the site in conjunction with local, regional, state and national partners.
In July 2018, Buttermilk LLC completed the environmental Corrective Action Plan and received the certificate of completion. The site is now deemed 'clean' by Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and the Environmental Protection Agency.
