The Village of Cazenovia is buzzing with excitement as we prepare to apply for the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). This program presents a unique economic opportunity for our community, offering $10 million in funding to one community in each region of the state to transform their downtown area. Imagine what this could mean for Cazenovia – improved public spaces, revitalized businesses, enhanced cultural attractions, and so much more!
Why This Matters
The DRI program is more than just an investment; it’s about envisioning the future of Cazenovia. This initiative is designed to stimulate economic growth, create a vibrant downtown that attracts residents and visitors alike, and support local businesses. If successful, this funding could provide the resources needed to make transformative changes that will benefit our community for generations to come.
