Description
Purchase of M&E to expand the company's recycled asphalt roofing shingle processing capacity. The project is in partnership with Erie County IDA. UB's Center for Computational Research (CCR) proposes to expand its high performance computing and data analytics resource to provide Western New York industry and organizations with on-demand, immediate access to advanced computing and storage infrastructure. The University District Community Development Association will use $150,000 in Urban Initiatives funds to renovate the Uptown Theater, on Bailey Avenue in the City of Buffalo's Kensington-Bailey Business District. The Village of Alden will complete an engineering report to evaluate upgrades to the Village wastewater treatment and collection system. The Village of Depew will complete an engineering report to evaluate inflow and infiltration issues within the existing collection system. The Village of Lancaster will use $100,000 in NYMS grant funds to assist the owners of mixed-use buildings to complete commercial and residential renovation projects. The Lancaster Community Development Corporation and local property owners will provide matching funds. The Village of Williamsville will use GIGP funds to install bioretention, rain gardens, and a green wall as part of the reconstruction of Spring Street. This project will significantly reduce existing erosion and sedimentation observed in nearby Glen Park. The Village of Williamsville will complete an implementation and construction plan to consolidate its water supply services. The project aims to transfer water system ownership to the Erie County Water Authority (ECWA) and discontinue the operation and maintenance by the Village Public Works Department. This consolidation will require a significant capital investment on the part of the Village to bring the System up to current ECWA standards. The scope of this project is to study Inflow and Infiltration into the Village of Williamsville sanitary sewer system. By reducing flows to the WWTP the village will reduce the cost to the Village taxpayer that pays for treatment.

CFA # County Applicant Project Title Description
George Eastman House, built 1902-1905, is one of only two National Historic Landmarks in the City of Rochester. As time has passed and weather damage has impacted the structural integrity of the historic site, it is clear that structural restoration efforts are needed. A Historic Site Conditions Survey will be developed to identify building systems and areas that may be deficient, describe how such deficiencies may affect future maintenance requirements, and lay out a plan for improvements. Geva Theatre Center is initiating major capital improvements that will transform National Historically Significant Building of the once N.Y. State Naval Arsenal and Rochester Convention Hall to a dynamic world-class cultural asset that serves people from all over the country; provides exceptional arts, cultural and educational programs; and contributes to the economic vitality of the region. Geva Theater Center will use this funding for major capital improvements that will transform this building of national historic significance, as the previous home of the 54th Regiment of the New York Militia and the Rochester Convention Hall, into a dynamic world-class cultural asset serving people from all over the country. The Greater Rochester Housing Partnership will use $120,000 in Urban Initiatives funds to build four new affordable single-family homes in the DeweyDriving Park neighborhood of the City of Rochester. The total project cost is estimated at $745,000, with additional funding from homebuyers, the City of Rochester, the Affordable Housing Corporation, and the Greater Rochester Housing Partnership. With affordable and often free performances, the Hochstein School of Music serves a wide audience, including students from 12 counties. The purchase of new sound equipment will greatly improve technical standards, attracting new performers and providing a better experience for the audiences. Serving over 100,000 visitors a year and attracting an estimated $2.6 million in revenue, Hochstein School of Music and Dance is key to Rochester’s cultural identity. The I-Square project will use GIGP funds to support rainwater harvesting and reuse, pervious pavement, rain gardens and green roofs as part of a larger redevelopment project in the Cooper-Hudson-Titus Avenue area of the Town of Irondequoit.

HUB Construction
Description
Construct a facility which will provide a location for local farmers to bring their products for packaging and distribution locally and to NYC. The Town of Middleburg's Comprehensive Plan needs to be updated in the wake of Hurricane Irene, reevaluating current flood plain areas and encouraging better land use management practices to limit future loss of property and keep residents safe. The project includes the design and construction of improvements to the Cobleskill Water Supply. Applicant plans to purchase a historic tavern in Schoharie, renovate and purchase M&E to turn a portion of building into a fully operational farm distillery. The site would be marketed as a tourism destination. Revolutionary Spirits, LLC, a farm distillery, was founded in 2013 to help quench America's growing thirst for high quality artisanal spirits. Keeping this landmark open to the public is as key to our project as creating and sharing new agribusiness opportunities with our agricultural and tourism partners. Our plan also includes utilizing space within the property to celebrate our region's rich local history. The Village will complete planning to merge existing and potential waterfront and floodplain FEMA buyout properties to create a cohesive waterfront recreational plan to help spur physical and economic revitalization following Tropical Storm Lee flooding. Schoharie County, in cooperation with Soil and Water Conservation Districts, will implement the Mohawk River Watershed Management Plan through flood mitigation studies in the Schoharie Creek Watershed, installation of best management practices to reduce stormwater impacts and invasive species control. Community Renewal will make funding available to eligible municipalities for Housing Rehabilitation, Public Infrastructure, Public Facilities and Economic Development activities for the benefit of low to moderateincome individuals. Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits will be reserved for future projects including business investments in targeted industries that are within the region and that create or retain jobs, create capital investment and are consistent with the Strategic Plan. Federal Industrial Development Bond (IDB) Cap will be made available for state and local government issuers to sell tax-exempt bonds for eligible economic development, infrastructure and community revitalization efforts.

The updated CP will include a new hazard mitigation plan chapter that will outline the processes for preparedness, emergency response, recovery, and long term mitigation. The City of Long Beach will update their comprehensive plan to identify strategies to restore and protect its economic vitality after storms and the recession. GCVS, LLC will construct a public piazza in downtown Glen Cove to enhance a mixed-use development, including retail and 142 rental units on above floors (10 percent designated as affordable). The Village of Freeport proposes to replace 1,065 linear feet of bulkheading at Waterfront Park. The chromate copper arsenate (CCA) treated timber bulkhead along the waterfront is degrading, allowing soil erosion, and is causing unsafe conditions that require the restriction of public access and recreational fishing at the waterfront section of the park. The replacement of the bulkheading will ensure the Village’s recreational assets can be utilized to their maximum potential. This project involves the construction of a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station. The station will serve both public and private fleets including transit buses, school buses, and light duty vehicles. This project also involves the location of 10 plugin hybrid electric vehicle charging stations at public and community facilities. Funding will also be used to purchase five new plugin hybrid electric municipal fleet vehicles and convert five existing municipal fleet vehicles to CNG. The Town of North Hempstead will develop a comprehensive waterfront revitalization plan including a feasibility study to refurbish the town dock, economic development plan, shoreline restoration and natural resource protection plan, and disaster mitigation and resiliency plan for waterfront properties and businesses.
