Kitchen incubator (PFKI) future and private operation
Peekskill
Summary
The food incubator project is still alive but uncertain after EDA rejected a scaled-back award; new federal deadlines run to March 2028. The board is now seriously exploring whether a private company should fund and run the facility instead of the agency.

Impact analysis
The project's revised budget is approaching the city's available local share, and the incubator has spent only about $13,000 this year.
If it moves forward, food entrepreneurs and the downtown economy would gain a commercial kitchen facility.
