ITHACA, N.Y. — The City of Ithaca is applying for the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative’s (DRI) ninth round of funding.
If selected, Ithaca will receive $10 million in DRI funding and is looking for proposals for projects to benefit from that funding. The Ithaca DRI Steering Committee is seeking proposals centered around economic development, improvement to infrastructure, recreation, natural resources, and cultural and historic enrichment.
“We are excited to open this DRI call for projects,” Ithaca Mayor Robert Cantelmo said in an announcement. “These funds would go towards projects that transform the physical environment of downtown and will benefit the quality of life and downtown experience of our residents, visitors, and future generations. It is essential that we welcome as many eligible applications as possible in order to move forward with the strongest set of projects to be included in the city’s application.”
