BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The City of Binghamton’s local planning committee (LPC) for the state’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) has submitted its project proposal for Clinton Street.
The submission follows a months-long planning and community input process, the office of Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham said Dec. 16.
The LPC unanimously advanced a slate of 22 projects requesting just over $13 million in DRI grant funding to New York State for review. The state will now select up to $10 million in projects from the list for funding, with awards expected to be announced in the spring.
