The newly formed company that came about from the merger between Countryside Cooperative and Landmark Services Cooperative has an official name. It's called ALCIVIA (pronounced ALL-siv-ia).
For the past four months, the Cottage Grove-based Landmark Services Cooperative and Countryside Cooperative of Durand has been unified.
The company's board will consist of 10 directors, composed of six directors from the Landmark region and four directors from the Countryside region, but will eventually reduce its total number of board seats in the coming years.
Landmark serves more than 11,000 members in southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and eastern Iowa and employs more than 275 full-time people. Countryside has 15,000 members in west-central Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota and has 500 workers on its payroll.
