City celebrates $25 million RAISE grant; strategic planning and public input to follow
Summary
City officials announced a $25 million RAISE grant award and said the city will undertake strategic planning and public engagement to shape the project.
City officials announced on Jan. 7 that Olean has been awarded a $25 million RAISE grant, and they described the award as a major step for the city’s strategic planning efforts.
Council members and staff said the project will require extensive public input and will build on lessons from previous major projects including North Union and the DRI. Officials said the process will be long and will involve coordinated work across departments.
At the meeting a council member thanked the mayor’s office, community development, the Department of Public Works and the full council for their roles in securing the grant. Officials emphasized that public outreach and planning will be next steps and that the city will seek community feedback as project details are developed.
The announcement at the committee meeting was informational; no formal action or appropriation tied to the RAISE grant was taken at this session.
