BATH — The Steuben County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) announced it has sworn in Dean Strobel as the newest member of its board of directors.
Strobel is the director of cheese operations at Upstate Farms Cheese, LLC, located in Campbell (Steuben County). He was born and raised in Cohocton (also located in the county), where he graduated from Cohocton Central School.
He received a bachelor’s degree in biology SUNY Geneseo. Immediately after graduating, Strobel began what has become a 38-year career in the dairy and food industry. He has been responsible for oversight and management of operations in New York, Maryland, Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin, and New Jersey, according to a Steuben County IDA news release. Strobel has also overseen capital projects that have totaled well over $100 million over the course of his career.
Strobel is also a member of the board of directors of the New York State Cheese Manufacturers’ Association. He returned to Western New York to join the Upstate Niagara Cooperative eight years ago. He and his family reside in Bath.
The Steuben County IDA says it “advances job opportunities, general prosperity, and economic welfare of the people of Steuben County by creating and stimulating an economic climate that competitively positions Steuben County to attract a talented workforce, public and private investment in infrastructure and business development, and other compatible and diverse sustainable economic development opportunities.”
