ANCA Facilitating Franklin County Planning Grant Application
ANCA currently is assisting the Franklin County Board of Legislators to pursue funding to study ways the County and its municipalities can strengthen county-wide planning and support for community planning efforts. The County is seeking a high-priority planning grant under the Local Government Efficiency program administered by the NYS Department of State for the study. The Camoin Associates, under contract with ANCA, is helping to develop the grant application.
To start work on the project, a meeting involving interested town and village leaders, county legislators, and representatives from ANCA, the Industrial Development Agency, and Camoin Associates is planned for the evening of February 16 at the Paul Smith’s College, Joan Weill Library. Local government support for the effort will help secure the grant, according to State officials.
Contact Greg Hill at ANCA (518.891.6200) to learn more about the planned meeting and the study’s purpose. More information about the grant and application process also can be seen in a relevant report published recently in the Plattsburgh Press Republican at http://www.pressrepublican.com/tuesday/local_story_026001736.html.
