Saskatoon-based Genesis Fertilizer LP has announced plans for an open house Oct. 4 in Tisdale, Sask., where it plans to make a special announcement at a site on Highway 3 across from the Canalta Hotel. Local dignitaries have been invited and lunch will be served.
The company has been eyeing a site in Tisdale for a future fertilizer distribution center (GM Sept. 8, p. 1) or “SuperCenter.” Genesis said earlier that it planned to host an open house in Tisdale following the 2023 harvest season, providing farmers an opportunity to engage with the company’s leadership team and agri-business experts, to deepen their understanding of the project.
If completed, this would be one of seven “SuperCenters” that Genesis has planned for Western Canada. The first was in Belle Plaine, Sask. (GM June 11, 2021; Feb. 3, 2017). Genesis plans to give open house attendees an update on its proposed Belle Plaine urea plant and distribution network.
Genesis reported that its management has been active over the last quarter, holding meetings and negotiations with property owners at preferred SuperCenter locations. In addition to the recent Tisdale announcement, the company said it has an option to purchase land in Wrentham, Alta.; has updated a previous agreement to locate the Peace Country SuperCenter east of Rycroft, Alta., on the Canadian National Rail Line; is continuing negotiations for a SuperCenter in Unity, Sask.; and is reviewing key locations in south central Manitoba.
