CAZENOVIA, N.Y. — The Village of Cazenovia will use a federal grant of $166,000 to help in planning following the recent closure of Cazenovia College.
The funding comes from the Economic Development Administration (EDA), U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in her announcement. EDA is a bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The federal money will help fund a market analysis, needs assessment, economic-feasibility study, and marketing strategy to help create jobs and “diversify the local economy.”
