The Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Economic Development is announcing the availability of housing and neighborhood revitalization funding to undertake innovative housing-related programs. This flexible and efficient program is intended to increase investment in the county’s housing stock, target investment based on the strategic priorities of each community, and create a partnership with the private sector leading to additional opportunities for revitalization.
The program will provide a 25 percent match in the form of a grant, not to exceed $10,000/project. Applicants must demonstrate that they have a well-conceived plan that supports the purpose and eligibility requirements of the program; that the program is innovative; and that it will have demonstrated tangible results.
A broad range of programs are eligible for funding and the deadline for submission is February 15, 2013. For application guidelines and additional information contact:
Deputy Director of Planning & Economic Development Mark Geise at 716-661-8912 or visit www.planningchautauqua.com.
The revitalization funding is part of a recommendation found in the County Comprehensive Plan.
