OSWEGO COUNTY – The Village of Pulaski is excited to announce the initiation of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) and invites the public to attend the first public meeting on June 12th. The Village of Pulaski is the Central New York Round 8 winner of the $10 million DRI award funded through the NYS Department of State. The DRI program seeks to create vibrant, resilient downtowns where people want to live, work, and visit.

The Village is hosting a public meeting on Thursday, June 12th, at the Pulaski Village Hall from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. to kick off the engagement process for the DRI. The meeting will begin with a brief presentation introducing the DRI program and the Village’s successful application. After the presentation, meeting attendees are invited to participate in interactive activities to gather input on priorities and opportunities for the DRI.

The Village’s DRI is guided by a Local Planning Committee (LPC) comprised of representatives from the business community, local organizations, and regional entities. The LPC will meet monthly throughout the planning process to support the development of a Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) and ultimately to recommend a slate of projects for funding consideration by NYS. The LPC has launched an Open Call for Projects and invites submissions of project proposals to be included in the SIP. In-person office hours to discuss potential projects will be held on June 12th from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. at Village Hall.

Potential project sponsors are encouraged to reach out to the DRI Project Manager, Emma Phillips, at [email protected][2] to discuss ideas and review project requirements.
