The Town of Richfield was selected by the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council to receive a $4.5 million award from New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul through the NY Forward program.
Investment from this program will allow Richfield to develop a Strategic Investment Plan and implement key catalytic projects to advance the community’s vision for downtown improvements.
The Local Planning Committee is co-chaired by Larry Frigault, Town of Richfield Supervisor and Carolyn A. Lewis, Director of Legislative Affairs & Grants for Bassett Medical Center and Mohawk Valley REDC Board member.
The committee consists of 11 other members representing a diverse cross section of the Richfield community. Their first meeting will be Thursday May 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Richfield Springs Public Library.
It is open to the public.
The six-month process to develop the SIP will include at least two separate Community Meetings to gather input from Town and Village residents and at least two additional outreach sessions at a to-be- determined community event.
