Geneva Station honored: The university's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva was named business of the year by the Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce at its annual dinner, April 6. Chamber chair Vincent Scalise made the award presentations. He cited the Experiment Station's mission and the fact that it had an annual budget of over $21 million, employing 303 people, who "contribute to Geneva's schools, civic organizations, local businesses and community events," as reasons for the award.
