About the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI):
The DRI transforms downtown neighborhoods into vibrant centers that offer a high quality of life and are magnets for redevelopment, business, job creation, and economic and housing diversity. These compact, walkable downtowns are a key ingredient to helping New York State rebuild its economy from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to achieving the State’s bold climate goals by promoting the use of public transit and reducing dependence on private vehicles. $10M will be awarded in each NY Economic Development Region – either to 1 community or a joint application from 2-3 smaller communities with a single vision
About New York Forward (NYF):
The NYF program is designed to invigorate and enliven downtowns in New York’s smaller and rural communities—the type of downtowns found in villages, hamlets and other small, neighborhood-scale municipal centers. The Mohawk Valley Region will nominate two communities at $4,500,000 to New York Department of State to confirm the funding awards.
