FULTON – Oswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, has been chosen as a recipient of a $3,000 grant from Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station for use in its Business Services division.

The agency was provided the grant to purchase a second UV printer for its production line. The printer is being used to produce Game Day Belts licensed by Syracuse University, which are currently on pre-order.
