Liz Montgomery reports for Porcupine Soup that the Old Factory Brewing Company in Cairo is getting a matching $34,500 grant from New York State to purchase new equipment. It is one of 108 projects awarded grants through New York's Craft Beverage Micro Grant Program. Old Factory Brewing Company plans to add a grain silo, grain auger, and walk-in cooler, to make more beer. This is another Regional Economic Development Council initiative project grant. Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, formerly the area's Congressional representative, said, "The Regional Economic Development Councils continue to help connect strategic investments to historically distressed communities throughout New York State.” Read more about this story in Porcupine Soup.
