fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — A proposed meat processing plant in Ticonderoga has received a major boost. Adirondack Meat Co. has received a $900,000 loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The money will help construct and equip a $1.4 million plant planned for the Ti industrial park. Pete Ward, the developer behind the proposed plant, said there is no timetable for construction. Financing remains to be completed before the project becomes reality. While Adirondack Meat Co. awaits word on further financing, it has all the necessary permits to start working just east of the Tractor Supply store on Route 74. It has approval from the Adirondack Park Agency, the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and others.

MINEVILLE — The Moriah Food Pantry is in dire straits. Shelves are nearly empty and the community service is short of cash. “If we continue the way we’re going, we won’t have a food pantry by next June,” said Sue Morse, pantry

Morse said. The pantry director is asking residents to donate non-perishable food items, hold food drives and make cash donations. Non-perishable food can be left in drop boxes at Mac’s Market in Port Henry, St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Port Henry, All Saints Church in Mineville and at other churches in the town.

residents are aware of the situation. “It seems like people forget about the food pantry during the summer,” Morse, who has been pantry director the last nine years, said. “Now that colder weather is here and the holidays are approaching the demand increases. This is the time of year we need help. People have always been great in the past.” The Moriah Food Pantry, located in the basement of All Saints Church on Bartlett Pond Road in Mineville, serves about 85 families a month,
