Included in the Regional Economic Development Council Awards announced December 11 are two projects in the eastern end of the 62nd Senate District. According to a press release from State Senator George Maziarz:
• $65,776 to the Village of Holley for the Holley Canal Park Improvement Project. Project activities include improvements to the existing gazebo, pavilions, and stone paths. New elements of the park will include new tree planting, installation of grills and picnic tables, fire pits, and the purchase of new equipment to maintain the park.
• $200,000 to the Village of Brockport for a Main Street Revitalization Project. These funds will assist the owners of mixed-use buildings to complete commercial and residential renovation projects, and perform streetscape enhancements in the village’s downtown business district.
Senator George Maziarz (R-C, Newfane) said, “The awards will help launch key community development projects in our canal villages. These awards go to show that projects in rural areas can have just as much merit as those in suburban and urban regions. The funded projects will help transform the quality of life for local residents.”
“The Holley award will result in lasting improvements to the Canal Park for all to enjoy. This park will be more user-friendly and accommodating to boaters, bicyclists, and the community at large,” Maziarz stated in the press release.
“The Brockport award will help continue revitalization efforts in the heart of this bustling college town. The Main Street neighborhood is looking better and better, and this program will continue that success and stimulate further investment in downtown Brockport,” Maziarz said.
