Menands to apply for Urban Opportunity Area grant to study redevelopment around 378 Bridge
Summary
Trustees authorized submission of a $200,000 New York State grant application — 90% grant share — to study redevelopment options in the area around the Route 378 bridge and Route 32 connections.
The board authorized the mayor to sign and submit an application for a New York State Urban Opportunity Area grant (described in the meeting as a Brownfield/Urban Opportunity Area Program) to develop redevelopment plans for the area around the Route 378 bridge.
Mayor Marsh said the village will request $200,000 in grant funds, with the state grant expected to cover 90% of the project. The project is described as creating a roadmap to seek further grants and to inform redevelopment once New York State Department of Transportation work on the 378 bridge and Route 32 connections is completed. The mayor indicated the application scored highly and said he expected the village to be successful.
Trustees voted to authorize submission and signing of the application; a motion was made and carried by voice vote.
