Economic Development staff will distribute draft model codes for battery energy storage systems and solar projects to towns; staff also reminded supervisors that the New York State CFA funding window is open through July 31 and offered departmental assistance and an RIT workshop.

Brian Pincelli, Director of Economic Development & Planning, told supervisors that the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process opened recently and will remain open through July 31, and that his department is available to assist with funding applications.
