The CREDC Arts, Culture and Tourism work group invites you to join us at our final regional CFA training and discussion.

  • The first half of this session will be a CREDC Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) training.
  • The second half of this session will be a forum to discuss ways in which the creative economy might be leveraged to promote economic growth in alignment with the priorities of the CREDC Strategic Plan and URI (Upstate Revitalization Initiative).

**Each CFA session is identical. If you attended a CFA training in Hudson on June 9 or Schenectady on June 12, you do not need to attend this training.**

Even if you/your organization does not plan to participate in the CFA process, please join us for the second half of this program and share your thoughts on how CREDC can drive economic growth through our region’s abundant creative, cultural and tourism assets.
