$13,000 went to Ludden’s Septic Services as ACCORD named the Wellsville-area septic company first-place winner in its 2026 Business Plan Competition at the Solutions Hub.
Months of preparation led finalists through financial, marketing and operational planning before they pitched to expert judges in a grant-funded contest backed by Empire State Development’s pilot program.
$10,000 went to Dark Hollow Lawn Care, $7,000 to Compassionate Healing Arts and a $5,000 Judges Choice award to Raft Waterfowl Studios; Heron Hill Yoga and TriplEscapes were also finalists.
ACCORD said the event showcased entrepreneurial activity across the region and supports its broader assistance program serving Allegany, Cattaraugus and Steuben counties.
