Louisiana Sugar Refinery construction at Gramercy, La.
A news and information Web site has gone online to provide a steady flow of updates on construction and other developments for the new million-ton-per-year sugar refinery at Gramercy, Louisiana.
LouisianaSugarNews.com debuted recently with an artist rendering of the Louisiana Sugar Refining (or LSR) plant plus photos and information for the news media in southern Louisiana.
The sugar refinery will be built, owned and operated by Louisiana Sugar Refining – a joint venture among Sugar Growers and Refiners, Inc., Cargill and Imperial Sugar Company. Sugar Growers and Refiners is a Louisiana cooperative representing eight sugar cane mills and more than 700 Louisiana sugar growers in Louisiana.
Cargill is an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services, and Imperial Sugar Company, operator of the current sugar refinery at Gramercy, is America’s second largest sugar producer.
At a special February 3 groundbreaking event near the site of the new cane sugar refinery, representatives from Sugar Growers and Refiners, Cargill and Imperial Sugar will speak about how the joint venture will benefit the community. They will be joined by other local, state and congressional officials.
LouisianaSugarNews.com will provide news coverage of the event, including photos and video as will ISCNewsroom.com. The new site was developed by members of News Group Net, the team that works with ISCNewsroom.com.
