Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council

The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council is the strategic economic advisory board representing the seven counties (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester) that border NYC as well as major Northeast markets.

Mid-Hudson Momentum Fund - Coming Spring 2023

The $150 million Mid-Hudson Momentum Fund (MHMF) program invests in mixed-use housing and infrastructure projects throughout the Mid-Hudson Region, specifically to address strain caused by the population increase exacerbated by COVID-19.

Consolidated Funding Application (CFA)

As part of New York's efforts to improve the business climate and expand economic growth, the NYS Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) was created to support the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Initiative. The CFA has streamlined and expedited the grant application process marking a fundamental shift in the way state resources are allocated, ensuring less bureaucracy and greater efficiency to fulfill local needs. The CFA allows applicants to access multiple state funding sources through one application, making the process quicker, easier, and more productive.
