JOHNSTOWN Submission of a $300,000 final New York state application for a new round of a Fulton County Microenterprise Grant Program was approved March 8 by the Fulton County Board of Supervisors.
Board action followed a public hearing, in which no one spoke at the County Office Building.
The application to operate the program had been recommended by the board’s Economic Development and Environment Committee. Board Chairman Jack Callery was authorized to submit the application.
The board passed a resolution authorizing a Community Development Block Grant application to the state Office of Community Renewal to operate a new Fulton County Microenterprise Grant Program. The program for very small businesses is run through the Gloversville-based Fulton County Center for Regional Growth, on behalf of the county.
