(Craft Cannery) to expand operations at Apple Tree Acres in the town of Bergen by adding 4,000 sq. ft. to its existing 5,000 sq. ft. facility. The USDA-certified contract manufacturer provides dozens of customers with the capacity to ramp production of sauces, dressings, marinades, and other foods, produce small-batch foods, and pilot unique recipes for commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Craft Cannery\u2019s expansion follows a $500,000 award won in the 2022 Grow-NY Global Food and Agribusiness Competition. The expansion will create four new jobs and retain six jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has requested payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), sales, and mortgage tax exemptions valued at $72,496 to support the expansion. The proposed incentives for the additional 4,000 sq. ft. are estimated to return $3.06 million in projected wages and municipal revenues. The project would generate a $62 economic impact for every $1 of requested incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GCEDC board will also consider a final resolution from LeatherLeaf Solar LLC for a 5 MW community solar farm in the town of Byron. The $9 million project is anticipated to generate $4,000\/megawatts (AC) annually + a 2% annual escalator of revenues to Genesee County and Byron-Bergen Central School District in addition to a host agreement with the Town of Byron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The March 28, 2024, GCEDC board meeting will be held at 4 p.m. at the MedTech Center\u2019s Innovation Zone, 99 MedTech Drive, Batavia.
