The Village of Waterville is the recipient of a $4.5 million grant award from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council (MVREDC) through the third round of the NY Forward program. Building on the momentum of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), the NY Forward program is intended to support more equitable downtown recovery for New York’s smaller communities with a focus on hamlets, villages and neighborhood-scale commercial centers. The NY Forward program provides smaller communities with planning and implementation support needed to attract more businesses, residents, and visitors while also providing a higher quality of life for all residents.
The planning process for the Village of Waterville’s NY Forward program is just beginning! Learn more about the planning process below.
