FERNDALE, NY — Nearly 60 local businesses are offering financial support to community organizations that received grants as part of the 2014 Sullivan Renaissance program. The Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce helped arrange for merchant discounts, typically from 10% to 30%, on products and services volunteers use to clean up and beautify communities.

“Beautification efforts increase tourism and boost the economy. The impact that Sullivan Renaissance has had on Sullivan County over more than a dozen years is visibly clear,” said Chamber of Commerce President Cathy Paty.

This is the 14th year businesses have joined in the Sullivan Renaissance Merchant Discount Program. Businesses that would like to participate in the program should contact the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce at 845/791-4200 or Sullivan Renaissance at 845/295-2452. Merchants do not need to be chamber members to help.

The Merchant Discount Program enrollment form, list of participating merchants and list of 2014 projects can be found on the Sullivan Renaissance website. For more information visit www.sullivanrenaissance.org.
