Madison County holds public hearing on Restore New York grant for Canastota Canalside pocket neighborhood
Summary
The board held a public hearing on an Empire State Development Restore New York grant application for the Canastota Canalside pocket neighborhood; a staff speaker said the program allows applications for up to $1,000,000 and no public testimony was presented.
The Madison County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on a proposed Empire State Development Restore New York grant application to support the Canastota Canalside pocket neighborhood.
At the hearing, a staff speaker identified as Jamie told the board that Restore New York is in its ninth round and "allows us to apply for up to $1,000,000 for the canalside pocket neighborhood, located in Canastota, and today is just the public hearing to do that." The board invited public comment but no members of the public registered to speak during the hearing.
The hearing served as the local public‑comment step required for the county to proceed with filing an application under the Restore New York program. No decision on award of funds was made at the meeting; the hearing record will be part of the application packet submitted to Empire State Development.
Next steps noted during the meeting: staff will complete the application materials required by Empire State Development and the board will await notice of the grant award process and timing.
