Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Cubry-lès-Faverney was primarily a village characterized by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. Today there are some local small businesses, mainly in the wood processing and agricultural machinery industries. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located off the major thoroughfares on a departmental road that leads from Menoux to Bourguignon-lès-Conflans. Further road connections exist with Mersuay and Anchenoncourt.
