Info

Special consideration was given to projects located in Brownfield Opportunity Areas and Empire Zones; those affected by flooding in June 2006; and communities with severe economic distress or dislocation. The 64 Restore NY Round 2 award winners were announced on January 15, 2008. Projects were chosen with the intent of connecting community initiatives with economic development goals to serve as catalysts for future development and growth. Priority was given to those projects that would serve to revitalize urban cores, leverage private investment and bring future business expansion to New York’s communities. On September 2, 2009, Governor David A. Paterson announced the award of 79 projects for Restore NY Round 3. These projects span across the New York State in 74 localities as part of the continued effort to revitalize urban areas, stabilize neighborhoods and invite renewed investment in economically distressed communities. B. The Project ESD will make grants to the Grantees for the purpose of enhancing the Grantees’ capacity to provide support in revitalizing urban areas and stabilizing neighborhoods as a means to attract residents and businesses in New York State. ESD will enter into an agreement with each Grantee that will stipulate the manner in which funds will be disbursed. The attached project schedule provides a more detailed description of the recommended project. III. Statutory Basis Restore New York Communities Findings: Land Use Improvement Projects 1. The area in which the project is to be located is a substandard or unsanitary area, or is in danger of becoming a substandard or unsanitary area and tends to impair or arrest sound growth and development of the municipality. See attached Project Schedule. 2. The project consists of a plan or undertaking for the clearance, replanning, reconstruction and rehabilitation of such area and for recreational and other facilities incidental or appurtenant thereto. See attached Project Schedule. 3. The plan or undertaking affords maximum opportunity for participation by private enterprise, consistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole. See attached Project Schedule. 2
4. There are no families or individuals displaced from the Project area. No residential relocation is required because there are no families or individuals residing on the site. IV. Environmental Review Unless otherwise noted on a project summary, ESD staff has determined that the project described in Schedule A constitute Type II actions as defined by the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and the implementing regulations for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. No further environmental review is required in connection with the projects. V. Non-Discrimination and Contractor & Supplier Diversity Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Article 15-A, ESD recognizes its obligation under the law to promote opportunities for maximum feasible participation of certified minority and womenowned businesses in the performance of ESD contracts. Accordingly, ESD’s Non-discrimination and Contractor & Supplier Diversity policies will apply to the projects. Unless otherwise specified in the project summary, grantees shall use their “Good Faith Efforts” to achieve an overall Minority and Women Business Enterprise (“MWBE”) Participation Goal of 23% related to the total value of ESD’s funding. This shall include a Minority Business Enterprise (“MBE”) Participation goal of 13% and a Women Business Enterprise (“WBE”) Participation goal of 10%. Grantee shall use Good Faith Efforts to solicit and utilize MWBEs for any contractual opportunities generated in connection with the Project and to include minorities and women in any job opportunities created by the projects. VI. ESD Employment Enforcement Policy ESD's Employment Enforcement Policy will not apply since the projects will not directly create or retain jobs. VII. ESD Financial Assistance Subject to Availability of Funds and Additional Approval The provision of ESD financial assistance is contingent upon the availability of funds and the approval of the State Division of the Budget.
