When this opportunity was presented to the village by the NY Forward program, state money handlers made it clear: This money is for transformative projects; big ideas, projects that will create more value than they cost.
NY Forward asked the community to submit over $10 million dollars in proposed projects that wanted to compete for the $4.5 million dollar award. According to the local committee charged with rounding up the applications, more than $20 million in proposed projects have been submitted. Read the list of those projects below:
