IDA staff reports roughly $26 million in active grants, including $500,000 EPA award
Summary
Staff presented a spreadsheet of active grants and statuses totaling roughly $26,000,552, highlighted a newly awarded $500,000 EPA assessment grant that will fund brownfields work (phase I/II investigations, reuse plans, community outreach) and noted remaining administrative steps before spending begins.
Victoria presented the agency’s grants spreadsheet and walked the board through active projects from multiple funding sources, including three NYS Homes and Community Renewal grants, Department of State BOA work, FAST New York submissions and a recent $500,000 EPA assessment award that will require NEPA and environmental‑assessment steps before funds can be spent.
Victoria told the board: "This information was just submitted, late last week to the EPA," and described the grant’s work plan (phase 1 and phase 2 environmental assessments, GIS mapping, community planning and outreach). She reported a grand total of active grants as about "$26,000,552" and said an additional ~$1.3 million was in process. Board members thanked staff for compiling the spreadsheet and asked follow‑up questions about reimbursements (a $17,000 Village of Herkimer BOA reimbursement was noted).
