Summary
The Legislature unanimously endorsed a Franklin County Local Development Corporation application seeking $500,000 from New York Main Street to support mixed-use building renovations on Main Street in Saranac Lake and Park Street in Tupper Lake, citing countywide revitalization benefits.
On July 12 the Franklin County Legislature unanimously endorsed a Consolidated Funding Application prepared by the Franklin County Local Development Corporation seeking $500,000 under the New York Main Street Program.
The application proposes to assist mixed-use building renovation projects along Main Street and Broadway in the Village of Saranac Lake and along Park Street in the Village of Tupper Lake. The resolution (No. 181) states the proposed funding will contribute to local revitalization efforts and that countywide benefits are expected. The measure was offered by the Economic Development Committee; Legislator Sherwin moved the resolution and Legislator Ellis seconded it.
The minutes record unanimous adoption but do not list specific project applicants, matching funds, award conditions, or a timeline for the proposed renovations. The transcript does not show further debate or dissent.
The endorsement allows the FCLDC to include Franklin County in the Consolidated Funding Application as the local endorsement required for submission to New York State Homes and Community Renewal.
