FULTON, N.Y. — The New York State Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) announced it has selected the City of Fulton as one of four winners of its Local Government Achievement Award for 2020. The awards program, in its 33rd year, recognized Fulton for its Block Builders Program.
Fulton’s Block Builders Program is a revitalization initiative that encourages clusters of neighbors to collaborate on exterior improvements to their properties in order to enhance Fulton’s neighborhoods and inspire others to reinvest, according to an Oct. 23 news release from NYCOM. Since its start, Fulton Block Builders has awarded 596 Block Challenge Grants that have had a “transformative impact” on the city.
“I want to commend the City of Fulton for this excellent program. This award recognizes that local officials are continuing to work diligently to improve their communities and the quality-of-life for their residents in efficient and innovative ways. The Block Builders Program will benefit the City of Fulton for years to come. Congratulations to Mayor Michaels on a job well done,” NYCOM President Rich David, mayor of the City of Binghamton, said in an Oct. 23 news release.
The other three winners of NYCOM’s Local Government Achievement Award for 2020 are the Village of Briarcliff Manor, which is located in Westchester County; the Village of Naples, situated in Ontario County; and the City of Oneonta, located in Otsego County. NYCOM, founded in 1910, represents 574 cities and villages in New York state. The organization is headquartered in Albany.
