About this grant

This renewal grant provides funds for the Genesee Area Focus Fund and its supported organization, the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce, to conduct economic development and education initiatives. The economic development goals for the chamber are to attract new jobs and investment, retain existing firms, introduce and improve products and services, and strengthen partnerships.

Additionally, the grantee will serve business needs by linking education programs with the business community.
