DRI Public Info Session, Wednesday June 4th, 5:00 p.m.

The Governor’s Office announced its decisions for DRI Funded projects as part of the Grand Gorge/Roxbury Downtown Revitalization Program. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-31-transformational-projects-southern-tier-part-downtown

Congratulations to the project sponsors who received funding, and for those who did not make the cut, the 2025 Consolidated Funding Application is open now, and there are additional opportunities to get your projects funded. All projects sent to the state were priorities put forth by the Local Planning Committee, which means any unfunded projects are poised to apply to other state agencies for funding. We at the MARK Project are here to help.

If you participated in the process, you will be aware that rigorous ethics and conflict of interest procedures were in place, and all official business took place in a public forum. There were a total of three public workshop sessions and nine Local Planning Committee meetings, all open to the public. It was promoted heavily on social media, newspapers, and on the grandgorgeroxburydri.com website.
