Projects in Fulton, Syracuse, Watertown, Ithaca, Binghamton, Utica, and Rome are among those benefitting from nearly $40 million in funding in the fourth round of the Restore New York Communities Initiative.
Restore New York supports municipal-revitalization efforts across the state, the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a news release issued Thursday.
In Central New York, the awards include $350,000 for the Route 481 gateway project in the City of Fulton and $500,000 for a restoration project in the Village of Phoenix.
Both projects are a “positive step for both communities,” New York State Assemblyman Will Barclay (R–Pulaski), who represents Oswego County, said in a statement.
“For the City of Fulton, this funding will help the city move forward with its plan to make use of the former Nestle’s site. The Restore NY funds will help the city make the property marketable for future economic development. Likewise, the project in the village of Phoenix will take two dilapidated properties in the village and will turn the buildings around to make much-needed commercial retail space,” said Barclay.
