NY JAY — Jay Economic Development Committee targets $4.5 million in state development funding. The committee committed to pursuing a New York Forward/DRI grant in November requiring $13 million in identified projects, per Committee Chair Matt Stanley, while housing initiatives include a reopened $400,000 Vacant Property program in Hamilton and three CDBG units averaging $40,000 to $70,000 in abatement costs. The CDBG Microenterprise program remains significantly underspent, with Program Director Jody Olcott reporting $29,000 in Round 1 awards against a $175,000 allocation.
Committee Chair Stanley escalated a cell service failure in Au Sable Forks to state authorities after a fatal medical event when emergency 911 calls failed due to zero signal.
