Question Title

NOTE: Suggested projects must be located in Sleepy Hollow's mapped DRI/NYF Focus Area and must fall into one of the State's four Eligible Project Types:
(1) Public Improvement Projects: May include infrastructure projects such as broadband and other communications connectivity, green infrastructure, streetscape improvements, transportation, recreational trails, signage, new and upgraded parks and plazas, public art, and other public realm projects that will contribute to revitalization of the downtown.
(2) New Development and/or Rehabilitation of Existing Downtown Buildings: May include development or redevelopment of real property for mixed-use, commercial, or public uses. They should have a visible and functional impact on the downtown, serving as anchor, catalytic or transformative projects that will provide employment opportunities, housing choices, and/or services for the community. Projects should employ decarbonization strategies. Construction or rehab of stand-alone parking garages not connected with other uses will not be considered.
(3) Branding and Marketing: May include downtown branding and marketing projects that may target residents, investors, developers, tourists, and/ or visitors. The costs eligible under this category must be one-time expenses, such as those to develop materials and signage. Ongoing operational costs, such as to fund a downtown manager or maintain a website, are not eligible for funding.
(4) Grant Fund or Revolving Loan Fund: A locally managed fund may be proposed to undertake a range of smaller downtown projects such as façade improvements, public art, and physical improvements to existing and/or vacant commercial or mixed-use space. Projects that are significant, such as new construction, should not be proposed for a fund and instead should be proposed as their own individual project.
