Moundview Dairy Seeks Grant To Help Expansion Plans

Moundview Dairy in Platteville looking to put more than $1 million into a local expansion project to double its production capacity and add 15 jobs. The cheesemaking company has been in business since 2018 and currently employs about 20 people. Platteville Common Council members have approved the company’s request to apply for up to $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant economic development funding to help cover expansion costs. Much of the $1 million expansion cost will go toward purchasing new and additional equipment to ramp up production capacity. If the company receives the grant funding, Moundview Dairy will have two years from the installation of the new equipment to hire the 15 new employees. Once the state receives the application for the Community Development Block Grant, the state should issue a decision on the grant within six to eight weeks.
