In addition, the facility will produce approximately 410 m3/day of agricultural and horticultural field amendments, potting soils and fertilizers to be marketed under PFED’s commercial brand line. The total cost of the project including all fees and owner expenses is $16,670,000. All work is to achieve substantial completion by June 1, 2022 and final completion by September 1, 2022.
