Batavia Dairy Cooperative Expanding, Adding Jobs

State officials are announcing an expansion at a milk cooperative in Batavia which will add two dozen jobs. 

Empire State Development says that O-AT-KA Milk Products Cooperative will be expanding their warehouse and material handling functions at their Batavia site.

O-AT-KA is majority-owned by Upstate Niagara Cooperative.  Officials expect that will create 24 new full-time jobs within three years, raising total employment to more than 350 positions.

The state is providing a $400,000 grant toward the project.

Before retiring in March 2025, Randy Gorbman was WXXI's director of news and public affairs and managed the day-to-day operations of WXXI News on radio, television, and online.
