The US Economic Development Administration awarded the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation a grant worth $1,638,000 to help fund a project in Monroe County.

The grant was awarded on Feb. 14, 2019. The EDA describes the grant as follows:

"This EDA investment funds the renovation of interior space in the Sibley Square building in Rochester, NY, to develop a shared-use commercial kitchen with fourteen kitchen stations, one show kitchen, and shared-use dry and cold storage. The new kitchen will provide food entrepreneurs space to showcase their goods, provide cooking lessons, and hold pop-up events, which will foster conditions that support the creation of more, higher paying employment opportunities for the region's workforce."
