Three organizations in New York’s 139th Assembly District have received a combined total of $610,500 in grant funding, according to an announcement by Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia). The grants were awarded through the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and will benefit the Genesee Country Museum, Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council, and the Cobblestone Society & Museum. The funds are intended to support improvements in operations, administrative functions, and facility updates.
Assemblyman Hawley expressed appreciation for NYSCA’s efforts in providing these resources. “As your assemblyman, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is securing funding that will go toward strengthening local organizations and bettering our community,” said Hawley. “These vital grant awards will not only help boost current conditions and initiatives for these organizations, but they will also set them up for future success with targeted support and improvements. I’m proud to be able to announce this funding for our community, and I will continue to work in Albany to make sure our local institutions have the funding and resources they need to succeed.”
