Board notes $50M in state land‑bank funding; CrossMod pilot still waiting on placements
Summary
The board discussed a statewide $50,000,000 allocation for land‑bank initiatives and heard that the CrossMod Move‑In NY pilot has Syracuse as the first starter with 60 units planned but none placed as of the meeting.
Board members reviewed state-level funding prospects that could affect local land‑bank activity. Meeting minutes record that the approved New York State budget includes $50,000,000 for the HCR Land Bank Initiative; the board discussed how that statewide appropriation could flow to local projects. The board also reviewed the CrossMod Move‑In NY pilot: Syracuse is identified as the first project with sixty houses planned for installation, but the minutes note Syracuse had not placed a house as of the June 15 meeting.
No formal allocation to Allegany County was recorded at the meeting; board members and staff discussed program status and potential site suitability for CrossMod units (People Inc. indicated potential receptivity to siting on 63 Seneca St., Wellsville if the numbers work). The funding and pilot details were provided as informational updates rather than items with final local decisions recorded.
