The Small Project Fund is a type of NY Forward project that could help fund a range of improvements in a downtown, such as building improvements (e.g., facades, interior fit-out, HVAC, etc.), business assistance (e.g., permanent equipment acquisition), or public art.

 

For the Small Project Fund to be included in the slate of proposed NY Forward projects submitted to the State, it is important to document interest in it. The Village of Scotia’s Local Planning Committee is seeking letters of interest from business and/or property owners to show that there are property and/or business owners interested in participating in this program.

However, submitting a letter of interest does not guarantee that a community will apply for a Small Project Fund as part of NY Forward. The project sponsor (e..g, the municipality or business improvement district) will also have to demonstrate interest and capacity to implement a Small Project Fund.
