 Due to the limited shipping season, sugar cane is stockpiled each fall in facilities next to the processing plant.In 2006, the red illuminated "Redpath Sugar" sign that adorned the north side of the building was taken down and replaced with a sign (since removed) for Tate & Lyle, the owner at that time (Redpath is now owned by American Sugar Refining).The Redpath signage on the west side of the building is still intact.
