Yoghurt maker suing Johnstown Renewables for $20 million for breach of contract

In New York state, yoghurt maker Fage is suing Johnstown Renewables for more than $20 million in damages because the company didn’t lift the acidic whey from the production facility as agreed to in 2015. Johnstown Renewables is perhaps 75% complete with the construction of its $12.4 million whey-based ethanol plant but the recent death of its major investor is a likely reason the project stalled. A pipeline between the two facilities was built to facilitate the transfer of whey.
