New York State is set to spend $1 million on a redevelopment project at the site of a former factory in Canajoharie.<\/p>\n
The new round of state funding will be used for site preparation at the former Beech-Nut site. The current redevelopment project includes for 65 units of affordable housing and commercial space for small businesses.<\/p>\n
State Sen. Patricia Fahy announced the funding. She said the grant will pay off down the road.<\/p>\n
“These grants are capital grants that are there to leverage money,” Fahy said. “It’s not about just the one and done with the 1 million or the 4 million. It is going to leverage millions and millions more, including such critically needed housing. This is a massive home run for Canajoharie.”<\/p>\n
The 22-acre site of the former baby food plant has been unused since Beech-Nut moved its facility in 2011.<\/p>\n
Canajoharie demolished the building in 2018 with a $6 million state grant.<\/p>\n
Other plans for the site have fallen through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York State is set to spend $1 million on a redevelopment project at the site of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":["post-333470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
