In a recent government meeting, officials reported significant progress on various funding initiatives and projects aimed at community development. The meeting highlighted the successful submission of final paperwork for the construction of the Springs, with an anticipated certification announcement expected soon. FairPay Bank has also engaged with the county to assist in finalizing necessary documentation.
A notable achievement was the swift approval of a NYSERDA grant, awarded within just 24 hours of application submission. The county has already received a $10,000 check, which was granted without the need for extensive paperwork, streamlining the funding process.
The meeting also addressed the annual contract for public funds, with an additional $30,000 allocated this year, enhancing the county's financial resources. Furthermore, the Village of Moravia has requested assistance in managing a $300,000 grant designated for small business projects, including facade improvements. The county will act as the grant recipient and can allocate up to $30,000 for hiring a consultant to oversee the management of these funds.
Additionally, the county is set to accept $125,000 in NYSERDA grant funds for solar and charging station projects, with assurances that there will be no out-of-pocket costs due to available incentives. This funding will fully cover the project expenses, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development and energy efficiency.
Overall, the meeting underscored the county's proactive approach to securing funding and managing projects that benefit local businesses and enhance community infrastructure.
