We are so proud to share that Penny's Imperfect Pizza just secured a $24,930 investment. This was made possible through an AFID Infrastructure Grant and a full match from Albemarle County.

Penny’s has been growing right here Beacon Kitchen. This funding isn't just a number; it means new equipment and more storage so they can triple their production and hire more local neighbors.

This is exactly why we do what we do at New Hill. When we provide the space and the tools, our entrepreneurs do the rest.

Huge congratulations to the Penny’s team. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
