Graf Realty presents matching gift for incubator

Daniel Reininga (right), President of Graf Realty, presents a check to SUNY Fredonia President Dennis Hefner, in support of the university’s new Business Technology Incubator.

The $10,000 gift is in response to a $300,000 “challenge grant” received by Buffalo’s John R. Oishei Foundation, which will match $100,000 of giving received per year over the next three years to aid this highly anticipated economic development project.

The new facility, which can provide support to as many as 30 start-up companies at a time, will officially open for business on Monday, Dec. 21 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. at 214 Central Ave. in downtown Dunkirk.
