Old creamery could become event center, if hurdles cleared

An essential part of the project involves building a patio off the building. It’s a feature BNSF may not want to see so close to its tracks. Until that decision is known, the project is on hold.
When asked by Benson Economic Development Coordinator Hillary Tweed what his plans were for the former creamery building on Pacific Avenue, Ben Vadnais replied: “To make it as beautiful as possible.”
