New program to expand food access for New Yorkers
ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) – Applications opened on Tuesday for New York’s new Food Access Expansion Grant Program.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the program Tuesday. It aims to increase food access for New Yorkers living in underserved areas who may not have access to grocery stores.
The money will go toward infrastructure development for grocery stores, farm stands and food co-ops.
“Too often, families are faced with little to no options in their community to purchase fresh, local food that is also in their budget. This program will provide resources to assist with the upgrading of food stores and farm stands, and provide them with the capacity to prepare and sell locally sourced food while also supporting our farmers,” Hochul, D-New York, said in a statement.
