Downtown Revitalization Initiative

The Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) is a comprehensive approach to boosting local economies by transforming communities into vibrant neighborhoods where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live, work and raise a family. In its fourth year, the program will invest $100 million into 10 additional downtown neighborhoods across the state. Each of the State's ten Regional Economic Development Councils (REDCs) will solicit applications and choose one downtown that is ripe for revitalization and has the potential to become a magnet for redevelopment, business, job creation, greater economic and housing diversity, and opportunity.
