The increase in shipments will enable Hoober Feeds to expand its operations, according to a press release issued by New York State Sen. James Seward."Modern, functional infrastructure is key to ensuring our businesses can compete and grow," said Seward, who helped secure the grant. "This $200,000 grant will pay immediate dividends by boosting employment at Hoober Feeds and will create additional expansion opportunities at other Schoharie County businesses."Hoober Feeds President Bradley Wagner said the rail project is vital to its expansion plan.Schoharie County will administer the grant, which was issued through the NYSDOT's multimodal program.
