NY State Helps Communities with ED Plan Funding

Gov. Pataki's office has announced that $400,000 is being made available through the state's Office for Small Cities to help local communities create and carry out economic-development plans.

Communities may apply for $25,000 in assistance, with applications due by Oct. 18.
The federal funding, which is administered by the state, is intended to help communities identify potential problems, as well as available resources, and determine what steps need to be taken to reach development goals.

More information is available from the Governor's Office for Small Cities at (518) 474-2057 or www.nysmallcities.com.

Good move! Need about $4 million to make a difference though.
