Garnett City Council voted to help Garnett Foods mothball its cheese plant after closure on June 1 until a new market or buyer is found. The move includes waiving electrical charges, reducing sewer fees, and postponing trash charges for six months. The plant’s automated equipment must stay intact as Mid-America Dairy, leasing the plant, seeks a buyer or new market.
