(WARSAW, NY) – The Wyoming County Business Center proudly announces the graduation of local entrepreneurs and their business partners from the Wyoming County Business Fast Track Program. The milestone reflects the county’s continued commitment to fostering innovation, supporting small business development, and strengthening the local economy.

Each graduate brings a unique business concept designed to enhance community life and support sustainable economic growth across Wyoming County:

They come to your farm, your field, or your job site fully equipped.

Duda Woodworks LLC is a family-owned woodworking business based in Cowlesville, NY, specializing in CNC panel processing, custom cabinetry, and architectural millwork. They work with contractors, builders, and homeowners to provide high-quality, precise wood components for projects ranging from kitchens and closets to commercial build-outs. Their goal is to be a reliable local partner known for accuracy, efficiency, and craftsmanship, as they continue expanding into the commercial market.

Three Danes Farmstand in Arcade, NY, offers baked goods made from scratch in their registered cottage bakery, flower bouquets straight from their fields, and thoughtfully curated products from small businesses with an expanding selection of products. They are proud to serve as a convenient source for high-quality, handmade, and locally sourced goods for our community.

Grizzly’s Grooming is a home-based dog grooming studio in Western New York, just minutes from the Grand Canyon of the East. They offer one-on-one, stress-free grooming in a clean, calm garage studio - no crowded kennels, no rushed appointments. “Every pup leaves looking and feeling their best. Grizzy Clean, Every Time.”

The Nest Collective is an intentional community providing single women at every stage of life with shared land, meals, childcare, education, and relational tools to thrive together-“the way humans were meant to live.”

My Grandma’s Legacy is a small business opened by Michelle Bell who believes every woman deserves formal wear and clothing that fits perfectly. Whether it's a formal gown or everyday outfit, she handles alterations for women of all ages right from her home in the beautiful hills of Attica. “I don't just alter clothes - I make them yours.”

The Salty Dog Camp is an adventure-led retreat for dogs who deserve more than a kennel. They offer boarding, training and dog care services. Small by design and personal by nature; every dog is known by name, personality, and by their quirks. “Your dog doesn't just go to a kennel. They come to camp, where they explore the countryside, play, rest and relax while we care for them as if they were our own.”

A Fabrication Shop- A code-driven, fast-response ASME fabrication shop. They will specialize in custom pressure vessels, vessel repairs, and code-compliant solutions across the globe.

A Trucking Company- A newly established trucking company providing affordable and quality work. Qwen plans to haul aggregate, salt, limestone, and much more with a clean, updated, reliable fleet of trucks.

“These graduates brought incredible energy and creativity to the program,” said Jennifer Tyczka, Program Manager. “We’re proud to create a welcoming environment that supports aspiring entrepreneurs as they grow their ideas, build connections, and strengthen Wyoming County’s business community.”

Participants completed a comprehensive 10-week course covering core business fundamentals, including feasibility analysis, market research, financial forecasting, and sales strategy. Led by business leaders Parker Bray and Tom Schiltz, enhanced by local guest speakers, the sessions provided a hands-on, interactive learning experience that encouraged peer collaboration and real-world application.

Affiliated with the Kauffman Foundation’s FastTrac® program, the Wyoming County Business Center customizes its curriculum to meet the unique needs of local entrepreneurs. Through access to low-interest financing, ongoing technical support, and a mentorship network, graduates emerge prepared to launch and grow sustainable businesses.

“The successful completion of the program by our graduates highlights the value of comprehensive business planning and targeted training,” said Scott Gardner, President of the Wyoming County Business Center. “Many Fast Track alumni have gone on to secure financing and build successful businesses that contribute to job creation and strengthen the local economy in Wyoming County, underscoring the program’s important role in economic development.”

Registration is open for the next program cycle, which begins August 25, 2026, at the Ag & Business Center in Warsaw. Classes will be held every Tuesday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. for ten weeks.

The program is made possible through the support of the Wyoming County Business Center Board of Directors, the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors, and generous sponsors, including Tompkins Community Bank, Complete Payroll, Robert D. Strassel, Esq., Five Star Bank, and workforce development resources from Community Action for Wyoming County.
