The Downtown Revitalization Round Three Initiative will invest $10 million in each of 10 communities ripe for development to transform them into vibrant communities where tomorrow's workforce will want to live, work and raise families. In 2018, the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will again support a community planning process where each community develops the key ingredients needed for successful downtown revitalization:

• A clear vision for the downtown;

• Goals and strategies to accomplish the vision;

• An action plan with a timeline for projects, initiatives, and actions; and

• A strategic investment plan with catalytic projects to implement the plan.



DRI awards will reinforce and secure additional public and private investments within and near downtown neighborhoods, and build upon growth spurred by the Regional Councils.

Each Regional Council will solicit interest in the program from communities in the region, accepting revised applications from communities that requested consideration in 2017, and new applications from communities that didn't participate last year.

Join the discussion about downtown revitalization efforts in Troy, NY! Come to the Troy Innovation Garage at 6:00pm on May 16th; bring your transformative projects, ideas, and energy, and be part of this year's proposal process.
