GLOVERSVILLE, NY — The Fulton County Center for Regional Growth (CRG) has announced a Local CFA Virtual Workshop designed to help regional business owners, developers, and community leaders learn how to secure funding for upcoming economic development and community projects.

About the workshop

Scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM, the virtual event will feature insights directly from representatives of Empire State Development (ESD).
The New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) serves as a streamlined single-entry point for access to multiple state funding sources.
