Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council

The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council is the strategic economic advisory board representing the seven counties that border New York City as well as major Northeast markets. The region includes the following counties: Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.

Governor Hochul Announced $200 Million in funding to revitalize downtown areas in communities across New York State. The $200 million in funding is available for two major downtown revitalization initiatives:

• Round 6 of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative -  the DRI transforms downtown neighborhoods into vibrant centers that offer a high quality of life and become magnets for redevelopment, business growth, job creation and economic and housing diversity
• NY Forward - a new program that supports a more equitable downtown recovery for New York’s smaller and rural communities, with a focus on hamlets and villages. 

For more information on the above programs, click below:

Applications for both programs are available now!

Applications are due by September 23, 2022 at 4:00pm.
