Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 20, 2009, Corning Natural Gas Corporation (the "Company") issued two press releases. The first press release announced the commencement of construction of the Company's Virgil, NY franchise. The second press release announced that the New York Public Service Commission has issued a final order in Corning's Rate Case. Both events are considered significant events to the Company. The Virgil franchise is a major expansion outside the Company's core service territory. The rate order will increase Corning revenues by approximately $1.5 million dollars annually, effective September 1, 2009. The case also establishes a process for a second increase that would be effective September 1, 2010.
