This grant provides funding to Orange County to meet demand for services at the Piedmont Food and Processing Center (PFAP) in Hillsborough. PFAP nurtures and supports food and ag entrepreneurs, grows local businesses, and participates in state-wide efforts to grow the food and ag economy. Requested funds would allow the PFAP to update and expand its existing freezer box capacity, offering more reliable cold-chain support to meet demand from current and new clients. The expanded capacity will result in users of PFAP receiving increased revenue from the sale of new and existing products.
