Elevation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT- PRICE COMPETITION

ELEVATION MEAT MARKET IS A STATE-INSPECTED MEAT PROCESSING FACILITY IN THE RURAL COMMUNITY OF WESTCLIFFE, COLORADO. WE OPERATE IN A 2,600 SQ. FT. FACILITY WITH 1,800 SQ. FT. DEDICATED TO PROCESSING. WE PROCESS SPECIALTY CUTS AND PRODUCTS FOR AREA CONSUMERS, RESTAURANTS, AND BARS. BECAUSE OF OUR INSPECTION STATUS, WE DO NOT DO EXTENSIVE CO-PACKING OR FURTHER PROCESSING, DESPITE ABUNDANT COMMUNITY NEED. OUR REGION HAS A DISPROPORTIONATELY SPARSE CONCENTRATION OF USDA-INSPECTED FACILITIES DESPITE THE HEAVY CONCENTRATION OF RANCHING AND LIVESTOCK FARMING THAT OCCURS HERE. TO IMPROVE THIS SITUATION, ELEVATION MEAT MARKET WILL UNDERTAKE A SERIES OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO BECOME USDA INSPECTED FOR PROCESSING OF BEEF AND PORK.WE WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO WALLS, MOBILE COLD STORAGE, AND FREEZER UNITS SO THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH FSIS STANDARDS. THEN, WE PLAN TO UPGRADE OUR COOLER COMPRESSOR AND EVAPORATOR. THIS WILL REDUCE ENERGY COSTS BY 10 PERCENT AND DECREASE CARCASS TRIM WEIGHT WASTE BY 57,600 POUNDS DURING THE GRANT PERIOD. ADDITIONALLY, WE SEEK NEW PROCESSING EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE EASIER TO CLEAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH FSIS STANDARDS AND INCREASE OUR VALUE-ADDED PRODUCT LINE OFFERINGS BY 10 PRODUCTS. ALTOGETHER, WE EXPECT THIS GRANT TO INCREASE OUR CAPACITY TO 25 BEEF CATTLE AND 10 PIGS PER WEEK, WHICH WOULD EQUATE TO MORE THAN 2.36 MILLION POUNDS OF NEW PROCESSING CAPACITY DURING THE GRANT PERIOD ALONE. WE ALSO EXPECT TO INCREASE OUR GROSS SALES BY 100 PERCENT DURING THE GRANT PERIOD AND CREATE 8 NEW FULL-TIME JOBS
