Southgate has received a $20,000 cheque from Lystek as part of a unique revenue sharing agreement with the township.
President Rick Mosher presented Mayor Ann Marie Fosbrooke with the money. It's based on market sales of the biosolids based LysteGro fertilizer product produced at the plant using human waste sewage.
Mosher says the company is delivering on a promise of economic and environmental benefits for the community.
So far, Mosher says Lystek has invested over $10 million in the economy during construction, and another $750-thousand in land and development charges.
Mosher says the plant diverted 75-thousand cubic meters of organic material and converted it into fertilizer, which has been applied to 8-thousand acres of farmland.
