Our mission...
Our goal is to build a healthy, growing local economy by facilitating cooperation and communication between businesses, government and residents. We aim to promote a positive environment that preserves the special character of our community in order to attract new businesses, new residents and create a welcoming environment for tourism.
Giving Back to Our Community...
The GBCC offers two different scholarships to graduating high-school students at Eldred Central School District who are either seeking to higher education in college OR entering a trade or attending trade school. The School to Trade scholarship is new for 2024 and we want to support young people seeking careers in trades like stone masonry, HVAC, welding, electrician professions, construction, plumbing and beyond. Communities like ours thrive on small businesses, trades and professionals. We ask students - where do you want to go and how can we help?
Our scholarship review committee will consider all applicants based on volunteerism, grades and essays introducing who you are and what you want to do in the future after high school.
