Travis Barr and Alex Altomonte stepped into Melissa Zomro Davis's small Cazenovia office with a wish, a dream, and a legacy. Little did they know that their journey would not only change their lives, but also the many lives of the residents and visitors of this quaint little community.

The idea of owning a business is not a new one for Travis and Alex. In 1946 Travis's Grandfather opened the Brae Loche Inn, which is still owned and operated by his uncle and his uncle's wife. Travis's cousin is the also owner and operator of 20East and Cazenovia CutBlock.

Mazzye’s Meats, Liverpool NY
At 6:30 in the morning, when most of us are asleep or enjoying our first cup of coffee, Drew D’Angelo arrives at Mazzye’s Meats to begin preparing the store. 

He sanitizes the store, fills the cases and prepares the meat for the day.  While there’s much work to be done, his favorite part of the day is just 90 minutes away when he’ll begin interacting with the customers.  That’s when his passion for meat and food preparation becomes apparent.  Not only does he enjoy talking with his customers about specific meats and various cuts of meat, he loves to help them understand the best way to prepare them.

Dr. Melissa Carman, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor
In the small business community, we always talk about networking, connections, and working with trusted partners.  That has never been truer than when it comes to working with a lender, especially during the current climate.
 
When you are starting or expanding a business, having a good relationship with your lender can make or break a deal.  Those lenders that are local where you can put a name to a face, where he or she is a part of your community and you can see the person at the grocery store, really is an important piece to your puzzle.
