Montour Falls gets federal funding to support small businesses

MONTOUR FALLS, N.Y. (WENY) -- The Village of Montour Falls has received $50,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission to implement a business mini-grant program under the Montour Falls Strategic Climate Smart Communities initiative, according to Congressman Nick Langworthy.

“The Village of Montour Falls relies on its small businesses to drive local economic growth,” said Langworthy. “This grant will give these businesses the support they need to expand and stay competitive, which in turn strengthens our entire community. I'll always be a strong advocate for the resources and investments that help our local businesses thrive.”

This program will support 10 of the 63 year-round businesses in Montour Falls, allowing them to access significant improvements for the community, according to Langworthy.

The $50,000 will be combined with an additional $50,000 from local sources to help implement the program.
