Success Story
Fisher’s Florist: A Legacy Preserved and a Future in Bloom
“In January 2024, I started the long journey of acquiring Fisher’s Florist. During this process, M&T Bank connected me with The Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation. CAEDC provided me with a grant that helped fund my start up costs, pay employee wages, purchase a delivery vehicle, and assist with additional operating costs. If it was not for CAEDC, I would have had to take a larger loan from the bank—and this would have pushed my personal life goals and dreams further away.

I cannot thank CAEDC enough for the grant funding which helped me achieve this milestone and continue the legacy of a small business in our community.”
