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\">\u201cThe agribusiness industry continues to propel our region\u2019s economy, having a successful and growing food and beverage cluster from Bergen to Pembroke represents the type of investments that have made Genesee County a destination for the private sector,\u201d said GCEDC President and CEO Steve Hyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expansion will create 4 new full-time jobs and retain 6 full-time positions.&nbsp;Craft Cannery previously won a $500,000 grant at the 2022 Grow-NY Global Food and Agribusiness Competition that supports the expansion.<\/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\"><br>The GCEDC board also approved a final resolution from LeatherLeaf Solar LLC for a 5 MW community solar farm in the town of Byron.
