| To appreciate just how important its local community is to Crop Production Services of Amenia, NY, just consider how the town's founding principle applies to the retailer. "Our town has a statement in its creed that its main purpose it to keep agriculture flourishing to maintain the pastoral surroundings," says Adam Cook, manager. "We have carried that message to the local zoning and planning boards." Part of this carry-through has to do with how CPS Amenia has designed its outlet with an eye toward the community. Recently, the company invested in a new warehouse at its location. In addition to providing the retailer with a state-of-the-art and environmentally sound structure to store its crop protection proeducts, the new warehuse also features a landscape plan that helps it better blend in with the surrounding area, says cook. "I feel that it is very important to be a good steward because it shows our commitment to our community and to the environment," he says. | ||
