Several Finger Lakes communities received funding through New York State’s Community Development Block Grant program, part of the Regional Economic Development Council Initiative.
Over $27 million was awarded statewide for 31 projects, including community planning, public facilities, and infrastructure improvements.
Local awards include $600,000 for Butler (Wayne County) to improve handicapped accessibility at the Town Hall, $2 million for Dresden (Yates County) to replace its water distribution system, and $2 million for Interlaken (Seneca County) to upgrade its wastewater treatment plant.
These funds aim to address regional economic needs and were allocated through a competitive application process managed by New York State Homes and Community Renewal.
