MACOG briefed the council on CAP grant rules (up to $500,000 with a 50/50 match; match can be non-cash grants). State Rep. David Abbott expressed support for Syracuse's boardwalk/trail application and said he is willing to discuss noncontiguous annexation but could not promise sponsorship.

The full story

Zach Dripps, a representative of MACOG, updated Syracuse council members on the Community Access Program (CAP) grant funding available to small towns. He said the county received state funding, that towns may apply for up to $500,000 with a 50/50 match and that "the match from the town can be other grants, does not have to be a cash match." He reminded the council that each community may submit a single CAP project, applications are due by June 2026, and funds must be spent by 2027.
