Last night, Batavia City Council issued a proclamation in honor of Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, recognizing the histories, cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latino community members. Two Downtown Batavia businesses, Cinco de Mayo Market LLC, owned by Nely Perez and Gerardo Parra, and Alma Café, owned by Alma Alanis and Familia Garcia were named in the proclamation. Daisy Parra and her family were in attendance at the meeting, and accepted the proclamation. These businesses represent the entrepreneurship, traditions and contributions of Batavia’s Hispanic and Latino business community and help strengthen the city’s local economy by contributing to the community’s growth, innovation and vibrancy.
This year’s theme, “Unidos, Somos Más” — “Together, We Are More” — is a wonderful reminder of the strength that comes from celebrating the people, cultures and traditions that make our community what it is.
We’re proud to celebrate these Downtown Batavia businesses and the many contributions of our Hispanic and Latino community members and business owners! ❤️
