Letter from Leon Conover
NY Forward Grant Important to All
In recent years, Doubleday Field and its approach have been renovated; sidewalks have been upgraded on Main and Pioneer streets; Pioneer Park has been redesigned, and much more. The result is a more appealing downtown, and it has all been done with public dollars and much work from a few very committed individuals. We should all be grateful for what they have accomplished.We now have a unique opportunity with a sizable $4.5 million grant from NY Forward to continue the momentum of revitalizing our downtown. The grant is designed to go beyond visual appeal and create investment in areas that directly contribute to the vitality of our community by leveraging public funding with private investment. It’s an opportunity to build on prior work in the public sector through cooperation between the public and private sectors.
