The Village of Bath is encouraging local businesses and groups to apply for NY Forward funding ahead of the July 18 deadline.
According to WENY, Bath was awarded $4.5 million to revitalize its downtown. Eligible projects include storefront upgrades, parks, housing, and business expansions—like Tub Town Brewing, which hopes to use funds for ADA improvements and restaurant growth.
Officials say the effort aims to draw visitors, inspire investment, and strengthen the economy. Applications will be reviewed locally before being sent to the state for final approval.
