Masonic Building project has $3 million in active grants; paperwork with state agencies ongoing
Summary
Staff told the Herkimer County Local Development Corporation that the Masonic Building project currently has about $3,000,000 in active grants but is delayed by complex paperwork with Empire State Development, HCR and the Department of State.
Staff updated the Herkimer County Local Development Corporation that the Masonic Building redevelopment project currently has approximately $3,000,000 in active grants but remains delayed by administrative work with multiple state agencies.
"The Masonic Building, we currently have active $3,000,000 in grants there. It's a paperwork nightmare right now," the presenter said. Staff named Empire State Development, the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) and the Department of State as agencies involved in the grant paperwork.
Why it matters: Grant funding supports redevelopment of the Masonic Building; delays in state approvals can affect project timelines and contractor schedules.
Details: Staff said once the project clears paperwork reviews by Empire State Development, HCR and the Department of State, they would be able to provide a clearer update. The transcript does not provide a breakdown of the $3,000,000 figure by specific grant program or agency, nor does it record a board vote or formal decision tied to the grants.
Next steps: Staff will continue to work with the listed state agencies and report progress to the board. No budget amendments or contract awards were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
