Troy
In September of 2003 the Town of Troy applied for a Vermont Community Development Program VCDP Planning Grant that was sub-granted to a group of local meat producers who were concerned about the possible closure of the slaughterhouse in Troy. The grant funds were used to look into the feasibility of purchasing the slaughterhouse and operating it as a cooperatively owned business. It was suspected that if the slaughterhouse did close that there would be shortage of slaughterhouse capacity. However, what the feasibility study found was this would not be case. What the study did find was that there is a shortage of processing and packing plants. This project was completed in January of 2006.
