Middletown approves local match for $55,000 BOA strategic-plan grant for community campus
Summary
The council accepted a $55,000 Empire State Development grant for a Brownfield Opportunity Area strategic plan focused on the Middletown Community Campus and approved a roughly $5,500 local match (10%). Pattern for Progress will help oversee the campus-focused transportation study.
Maria told the council that Middletown received a $55,000 grant from Empire State Development for a BOA (Brownfield Opportunity Area) strategic plan for the Middletown Community Campus. She asked the council to amend a prior resolution to accept the grant and to fund the required local match (10%, roughly $5,500).
Council members asked for clarification about who will run the transportation study; staff clarified that an engineer hired by the city will perform the work but that Pattern for Progress will oversee the study components tied to the BOA plan and that the study scope is limited to the Middletown Community Campus, not citywide.
Council moved and approved the amendment to accept the grant and to fund the local match from available resources.
