Fancher Chair Added to State's Historic Business Preservation Registry

The oldest existing business in Chautauqua County, and in New York State, has been honored with being placed on the state's new "Historic Business Registry." State Senator George Borrello was in Falconer on Friday where he made the presentation to Fancher Chair on South Work Street. He nominated Fancher to be among the first 100 businesses honored in the registry. The Sunset Bay Republican says there was no doubt Fancher belonged there...

Borrello-NO doubt that Fancher belonged in the registry

Borrello says businesses selected for the registry had to have been in existance for at least 50 years. Fancher makes wood chairs and other items for both residential and business operations.
