Schoharie County may be gaining some jobs in the near future as a cannery is being proposed. This cannery would be a boon to the local economy and provide economic stimulus in an economically depressed area. The Times-Journal is reporting that Paul Pehrson may have the project functional by this spring:
One cannery would be needed for vegetable and fruit; a second for meat, fish, and chicken; the cost per structure is $95,000.
Mr. Pehrson’s business plan calls for a three-year investment of $385,000 to get the project on its feet; after that, he sees it standing on its own for-profit feet.
Because of the way it would be set up, funding for the business could come through both private and family foundations, and through co-op membership.
Mr. Pehrson sees the cannery as requiring two to three shifts of six to eight hours each during the heavy production season of April-November with six workers and two working managers per shift.
He sees funding secured, boards selected, and employees hired by June, and 2009 production running from July to November.

Aaaargh---
Tomorrow in Schoharie, they're going to be a celebration of the inauguration of President Obama.
From the Tattler.
I don't know if these are out of towners or what, but it appears that they're in the wrong area to attempt to do this. Not to say that they can't, but it seems like just a little bit of gloating that they're willing to do it in the DAR building of all places.
Sometimes there's pride and sometimes there's arrogance. I'm not going, so I can't say which this is.
PS- They want donations. So bring change, you can relieve them.

Visit Schoharie County-- Breadbasket of the Revolution
Schoharie County is one of the most beautiful areas of the state, encompassing the northern Catskill Mountains and the scenic Schoharie Valley. There are many points of interest here, including Howe Caverns, which is the second-most visited natural attraction in the state. Schoharie County also contains the infamous Gilboa Dam. We also are fortunate to have Minekill and Max V. Shaul State Parks.
Also, the area is rich in history, including many fights in the Revolutionary War. Schoharie County once had three forts. The last remaining one is a museum now, the Old Stone Fort. Famous entrepreneur and founder of the company Westinghouse, George Westinghouse was born in Central Bridge. The largest single-span covered bridge in the world is located in Blenheim. Another nice covered bridge is in Schoharie, just down the street from the Old Stone Fort.
There are nice places to eat around the area, like the Alley Cat or the Tory Tavern in Schoharie or M+J's Cafe in Middleburgh. There are nice hotels, like the Super 8 in Cobleskill or the American Hotel in Sharon Springs.
We're convieniently located less than an hour away from Oneonta, Schnectady, and Albany. We're two hours from Binghamton and about three from Plattburgh and New York.
So give us a shot, you'll be glad you did.
