NORWICH – Congressman Anthony Brindisi visited Commerce Chenango Tuesday afternoon and spoke to local business representatives, veterans’ service providers, and other area leaders about how he can help improve Chenango County’s economy.
Commerce Chenango Executive Director and CEO Kerri Green spoke at the event and said that Brindisi’s office has continued to dedicate its time and efforts into helping Chenango County succeed.
“We are very thankful for his involvement in Chenango County and what we do,” said Green. “We work really closely with his office, and we really appreciate all of the time and resources they spend with us.”
Chenango County Board of Planning and Development Director Shane Butler agreed that this was a great opportunity to learn more about funding, and he said it was also a time to push for more funding for the census. He added that the data collected from the census has an impact on what kind of grant funding the municipality can apply for.
Green said having Brindisi come to the area in person was a huge benefit for everyone involved, and that Commerce Chenango is hoping to receive and provide funding for different projects in the area in the future.
“I was able to talk to him about some of the initiatives we have planned for 2020, and he was very supportive,” she added. “We talked with him about about our initiatives, and we also invited Melissa Stagnaro from UHS, and Joe Coe was here as well to talk about what he does for the veterans in our area.”
She said Coe has been doing an excellent job as the county’s veteran services officer, and that another veteran’s based event will be occurring on Monday, February 24 for the veterans who served during Vietnam era.
Brindisi spoke at the event and said he hopes the meeting helped inform local entities of what kind of federal funding is available, and that his goal is to continue to be a resource for the area.
“The goal of today was to meet with Commerce Chenango and the IDA to talk about how our office could be more of a resource to them, and to work to support the local business community here in Chenango County,” said Brindisi. “We also wanted to let them know that our office is here as a resource for grant opportunities and any other needs that they might have.”
He said his office has prioritized assisting Chenango County, and that he would like to see more of the federal funding make its way to the area.
“I’ve told my staff that I want them to do as much outreach into Chenango County as possible,” he added. “We’re looking for different ways to educate the public at large so that.”
