Some new funding is headed to one Schuyler County village.
A $50,000 grant was awarded to Montour Falls by the Appalachian Regional Commission to implement the village’s Strategic Climate Smart Communities Business Mini-Grant Program.
Montour Falls has 63-year-round businesses, 83 percent of which are considered micro-businesses with fewer than ten employees. This grant program will provide targeted support to 10 of these businesses, helping them thrive and grow in a competitive market.
With additional support of $50,000 from local sources, the total funding for the project will be $100,000, allowing for significant community improvements and the development of plans to implement Climate Smart Communities Best Practices.
