Over the summer CZB met with various stakeholders throughout the community such as volunteers, property owners, property managers, Realtors and business owners in order to better understand the challenges and demands facing Batavia. The information shared during the meetings was helpful in developing valuable strategies for promoting neighborhood revitalization, business sustainability, growth and entrepreneurship and community development.

A microbrewery with bottling
A microbrewery with bottling capability that could sell outside of the Batavia market would be a surefire way to bring money into the Batavia market. Batavia needs to market worldwide. I wear Batavia stuff in Texas, they can wear it in Taiwan just as easily. Batavia has history and intrigue, now all it needs are jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. Do you see that Kathy Hochul? It's time for you and Obama to start twisting ears, make it happen.
