State selects Local Planning Committee members; Ellenville trustees outline process for New York Forward projects
Summary
Trustees listed state‑selected LPC members, explained the committee's role in recommending projects to the state and told residents the initial LPC meeting will be public and livestreamed; trustees warned that the state will make final funding decisions.
The president read the names of individuals chosen by the state to serve on the Local Planning Committee (LPC) for New York Forward and said the LPC's first meeting will be next Monday at 5:30 p.m. The LPC membership includes town and county planning board representatives, nonprofit and business leaders and local officials; the president said the LPC will work publicly to recommend projects to the state for final selection.
The president cautioned that "the state will ultimately be the gatekeeper to who gets funded, does not get funded," and said the village will post meeting info and livestream the LPC meeting. Trustees discussed potential conflicts (double‑voting) and recusal rules for LPC members who also sit on village boards and said they will continue soliciting projects that could be submitted for state consideration.
Speakers (attributed): President; Committee member.
Why it matters: New York Forward funding decisions are competitive and the LPC process will determine which local project concepts are advanced to the state for selection.
