A groundbreaking ceremony took place today, Aug. 10, for the culinary arts center planned for Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua.

The center will serve as home to FLCC's culinary arts program and New York Kitchen, as well as provide auxiliary space for Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County.

"This collaborative venture marks an exciting milestone for FLCC's culinary program, and we are grateful to the Canandaigua Area Development Corporation (CADC), Ontario County, and New York State for their support," said FLCC President Robert Nye.

Upon completion, the facility will allow FLCC, New York Kitchen and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County to expand their collaborative efforts benefiting students, visitors, businesses and the community.

Representatives from the City of Canandaigua, Ontario County, the State University of New York Board of Trustees, the Sands Family, LeChase Construction, the CADC, New York Kitchen, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County, and FLCC attended the ceremony.

SUNY Reconnect opened the door for Geoff Hellauer-Geiger of Geneva to return to college, and now he will join FLCC's board of trustees as student trustee for the 2026-27 academic year.

Geoff, a smart systems technologies major, enrolled at FLCC in fall 2025 through SUNY Reconnect, a state initiative that allows eligible New Yorkers to earn a community college degree without educational expenses.

“Traditional and nontraditional students have different lives and experiences, and the world is changing, so we have to be ready for it,” he said.
