The Village of Hamilton is one of this year’s New York Forward recipients
In 2022, Governor Hochul announced the first round of New York Forward, a program “to invigorate and enliven downtowns in New York’s smaller and rural communities.” Hamilton has received $2.25 million to be put towards transformative projects for economic and community development. Keep your eyes and ears open this year as the Village, the PCD, and our state partners begin a collaborative process to put this grant into action.

OUR STORIES
FoJo Beans
When FoJo Beans applied for a small grant from the Partnership for Community Development, they were told almost immediately to go for something bigger, to aim to fit a coffee niche in the Hamilton community. Joseph described the help from the PCD by saying: “The village administration has been incredibly supportive, the Hamilton Initiative has been incredibly supportive, the university has been incredibly supportive, but it was the PCD that was not only supportive but pushed us and said ‘we are moving you forward.’”
Good Nature Brewery
When Good Nature was building the 12B Farm Brewery, they collaborated with the Partnership for Community Development to secure funding for their pretreatment facility for the brewery’s wastewater. The funds were split between a grant and a loan, and allowed for the efficient building of an unforeseen expense. Good Nature now treats all of their wastewater on site so as not to overwhelm the village’s treatment center.
Kriemhild Dairy
Kriemhild is currently undergoing expansion using CDBG funds awarded by the Partnership for Community Development. Rivington explains how the PCD has helped the company over the years with a combination of “grants, loans, and networking.” Funds from the PCD have been used to buy various tanks and other production equipment as well as for the installation of the equipment.
