Hello Neighbors,
We’ve extended the call for small project fund letters of interest!
The Small Project Fund is a type of NYF project that could help fund a range of improvements in a downtown, such as building improvements (e.g., facades, interior fit-out, HVAC, etc.), business assistance (e.g., permanent equipment acquisition), or public art.
For the Small Project Fund to be included in the slate of proposed NYF projects submitted to the State, it is important to document interest in it. The NYF Local Planning Committee is seeking letters of interest from business and/or property owners to show that there are property and/or business owners interested in participating in this program.
We have received a few letters, but need to show more interest if we hope to have this funded by the state. Please send a letter to show your interest and support of this fund. If you have questions, email them to: athensnyf@gmail.com.
If you have a plan for a project that you’d like to propose, please submit a letter of interest.
On athensnyf.com you can find information regarding eligibility, the NY Forward process and upcoming public engagement meetings. You can also check out the Village of Athens’ winning application and contact the team directly via email from the website.
