LPC To Select NY Forward Projects Next Wednesday

COOPERSTOWN—The Local Planning Committee for the Cooperstown New York Forward program will hold its fifth meeting on Wednesday, October 25 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Cooperstown Village Hall, 22 Main Street.

The agenda for this meeting will be to select projects to be recommended for funding. All LPC meetings are open to the public and allow time for public comment.

The Local Planning Committee is co-chaired by Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh and Regional Economic Development Council member Ken Meifert and consists of 11 other members representing a diverse cross section of the Cooperstown community.

The Village of Cooperstown was selected by the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council to receive a $4.5 million award from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul through the NYF program. Investment from this program will allow Cooperstown to develop a Strategic Investment Plan and implement key catalytic projects to advance a community vision for downtown improvements. Projects selected for funding will transform the community and support a vibrant local economy. More information can be found at https://www.cooperstownny.org/new-york-forward/.
