LITTLE FALLS, N.Y. — Eight projects designed to improve the quality of life in Little Falls are moving forward as part of the city’s $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) award.
The work will help create a more unified downtown to improve walking and biking for residents and to catalyze additional investment along Main Street and at Canal Place. The changes will allow a more natural flow for vehicular traffic. The city will establish a small-business assistance fund and replace the canopy along Main Street.
“The Downtown Revitalization Initiative is all about making our New York communities even better places to live, work, and play,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a news release. “Little Falls residents have seen the potential of their community as the gateway to the Adirondacks, and I have been struck by their passion for taking it to the next level.”
The specific projects funded through the DRI include the following:
“We look forward to improving the downtown district and making Little Falls an even more vibrant area to live and visit,” Little Falls Mayor Mark Blask said.
New York’s DRI helps transform downtown neighborhoods into compact, walkable downtowns that promote the use of public transit and reduce dependence on private vehicles.
