Village of Lowville Downtown Revitalization
Initiative Project Submission Deadline Extended to August 30, 2024
Lowville, N.Y. – In response to
the recent flooding that has impacted downtown Lowville, the Village of
Lowville DRI Local Planning Committee (LPC) has announced an extension of
the project submission deadline for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative
(DRI) to Friday, August 30, 2024, at 5:00 pm.
The flooding has
caused significant disruption to the community, including the downtown
area. In light of these challenges, the LPC
recognizes the need to provide additional time for residents and businesses
to focus on recovery efforts while still allowing them the opportunity to
participate in shaping the future of downtown Lowville.
The LPC continues
to seek proposals to be included in the final Strategic Investment Plan,
for potential funding from the $10 million allocation. DRI project
submissions are an essential part of Lowville's revitalization efforts. All
projects must be submitted using the Lowville DRI Project Form available at
www.LowvilleDRI.org.
To assist project
sponsors, the Lowville DRI consultant team will offer additional virtual
drop-in sessions and individual meetings. Details for these support
opportunities will be updated on the Village's DRI website.
The LPC remains
committed to public engagement throughout this process. Members of the
public are encouraged to stay informed about upcoming meetings, public
workshops and engagement activities by visiting www.LowvilleDRI.org.
The DRI presents
an opportunity to enhance the downtown area, improving pedestrian
accessibility, stimulating business activity, and creating job
opportunities. The community's resilience in the face of this challenge
underscores the importance of the DRI in creating a vibrant, sustainable
future for Lowville.
