Senator Nancy Schaefer has Sent a fax to Governor Sonny Perdue asking for a $ 10,000 Grant from his emergency fund to keep the Cannery open in Habersham County until the County can successfully fund the operation.
Agriculture is most important to Habersham County and many citizens have gardens along with farms. With the high cost of food, money can be saved by having access to the Cannery to process their food.
Schaefer pointed out: "I am not sure if the grant will be forthcoming, but the need is real and it certainly doesn't hurt to ask for needed help". A one time grant could keep the Cannery open until the County can assume the responsibility.
