CORNING - Tom Freeman, owner of Treats on Market Street, is one of many Gaffer District business owners seeking a one-time grant of up to $1,000 for pandemic recovery and business model adjustments.
“The grant, if we receive it, will be very helpful,” Freeman said. “It’s going to allow us to upgrade our point of sale to a contact list, which will also allow us to start offering online ordering.”
The new $100,000 matching grant opportunity for businesses within the Gaffer District is funded by donations from Corning Enterprises and Corning Credit Union, according to Gaffer District Executive Director Coleen Fabrizi.
