The Village of Brockport was selected as one of the Finger Lakes region’s recipients of a $4.5 million NY Forward grant. NY Forward is a statewide initiative that provides funding for high-priority projects designed to boost local economies and transform village centers where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live, work, and raise a family. In this program, the community develops a Strategic Investment Plan that includes recommended public, private, and non-profit projects that will advance the community’s vision for its downtown.
Two meetings, both open to the public, will be held on Tuesday, June 10, in the Parish Room at the Church of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 152 Main Street, Brockport.
At 5 p.m., a Local Planning Committee (LPC) meeting for the Brockport NY Forward effort will be held. During this meeting, the project team will present key findings from the Downtown Profile, provide feedback from the recent public workshop, and finalize the local project evaluation criteria. The meeting is open to all members of the public, with time reserved at the end for public comment.
At 7 p.m., an Open Call Information Session will begin. This session is intended for prospective applicants interested in submitting a project proposal for NY Forward funding through the Open Call for Projects, which runs from June 13 to July 17. The session will cover eligible project types, eligible project sponsors, project requirements, and evaluation criteria. The Project Team will also walk through the application form and respond to any questions from attendees. This meeting is open to all members of the public, with time reserved at the end of the meeting for public comment.
