NY Forward: Next Steps
The Village of Brockport is excited to proceed with NY Forward. In preparing the application, the Village and its partners were asked to submit at least $7M in projects, to ensure that there would be enough community investment from developers and property owners to utilize the $4.5M in state funding. All the projects listed in the proposal were deemed worthy in the evaluation of the application; however, all of these plus any new projects have to apply during the next phase. The final slate of projects will be identified as part of the NY Forward Process. The Department of State will be working with Village representatives to identify a Local Planning Committee, conduct and facilitate further public engagement, and work toward creation of a Strategic Investment Plan. Updates will be regularly shared with the public as soon as they become available.
