Sixty Years in Burlington
Celebrating Sixty Years in Burlington
This year marks an extraordinary milestone for both the Paletta family and the city of Burlington: 60 years since Pat Paletta and his brothers first planted their roots in the community. To commemorate this incredible legacy, it’s fitting to reflect on the profound impact the Paletta's have had on the city’s growth, development, and spirit of giving.
From humble beginnings in 1964, when Pat opened his second meat processing facility and began purchasing land for his cattle feeding operations, to the founding of Alinea—a symbol of their forward-thinking vision—this journey is a celebration of not just business success, but of a family's deep commitment to its community.
A Humble Beginning and a Vision for Growth
In 1964, Pat Paletta embarked on a journey that would forever shape Burlington’s landscape. What started as a land acquisition for his meat and cattle farming business soon turned into a visionary move that laid the foundation for Burlington’s future.
Pat’s keen eye for opportunity transformed what might have been a small farming operation into a multi-faceted enterprise that spanned real estate, commercial and industrial buildings, agriculture, and community development.
