Economic program focus is on Dundee
PENN YAN—The new micro-enterprise program, available in Dundee, was the focus of the most recent Finger Lakes Economic Development Center (FLEDC) meeting. Empire Zone Coordinator Ryan Hallings outlined some of the projects during the meeting of the group’s board of directors Aug. 19. Hallings said there have already been eight inquiries and five applications are out. A disc jockey service and Windmill food vendor are some of the wide range of projects that are being considered. Applications may be made until Sept. 7 for the program which offers up to $3,000 on a 50 percent loan, 50 percent grant basis. Hallings said projects will be ranked by employment impact. The program grew out of the health improvement project begun nearly two years ago which includes the village of Dundee and the towns of Barrington and Starkey. Dundee Foods in Dundee was also on the agenda. Steve Griffin, executive director of FLEDC, said he is continuing to work with LiDestri Foods, owner of the company, as they grow closer to moving out of Dundee. He said they want to do right by Dundee and are trying to get the building filled. Read More ...

Dundee moves football, soccer practice fields
DUNDEE—Dundee Central School District Athletic Charles Mochamer presented a number of changes for practice fields on campus to the board of education during their Aug. 12 meeting. The practice fields for football and soccer have moved. Mochamer said at the end of fall last year there were discussions about moving the varsity football field to the back part of the campus, revamping the old soccer field for football. He said, “It’s a good idea to move all football practice to the back and establish a football field there for next year.” Football games will be on the main field this year. The fields are used extensively both for school activities and community youth sports programs. Youth soccer and football use the fields with up to 150 to 200 kids using the facilities on practice nights. Read More ...
