Some 29 projects in Warren and Washington counties received a total of nearly $4.6 million from New York state as part of this year\u2019s Regional Economic Development Council grant program.
\nMore than $761 million in economic and community development funding was awarded through Round IX of the REDC initiative statewide.
\nSince its inception in 2011, over $6.9 billion has been awarded to more than 8,300 projects that are projected to create and retain more than 240,000 jobs statewide through the REDC process, state officials said.
\nKey among the projects is over $1 million to Glens Falls to construct a separate stormsewer system along Walnut and Maple streets. Many of the grants in the region are for infrastructure projects.
\nSeparate from that, two farms\u2014 Nettle Meadow Cheese Plant in Warrensburg and Luncrest Farm LLC in Washington County\u2014got grants to enhance their production facilities.
\n\u201cThroughout the Regional Economic Development Council process over the past nine years, we have seen unprecedented regional investment focusing on a ground-up, strategic model that has spurred tremendous growth in every corner of this great state,\u201d Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. \u201cBy bringing together local leaders and stakeholders who are invested in their communities we have replaced the \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach to economic development with one that is unique to each community, creating opportunities for success all across the Empire State.\u201d
\nThe REDC process creates a statewide framework for bottom-up, regional economic growth and streamlining the state funding application process, officials said. Established in 2011 as a centerpiece of a strategy to jump-start the economy and create jobs, the Regional Councils replaced the state\u2019s old top-down approach with one that is community-based and performance-driven.
\nIn 2019, all 10 REDCs competed for up to $150 million in capital funds and $75 million in Excelsior Tax Credits for projects identified by the Regional Councils as priorities in their regions.
\nThe Regional Council priorities this year included working with local businesses and communities to identify childcare needs and develop potential solutions; developing an economic and environmental justice strategy for the region; supporting community investment in place-making and downtown revitalization; and supporting the state\u2019s $175 million Workforce Development Initiative. Each council was asked to address these items in ways that complement each regional vision.
\nThe projects in Warren and Washington counties include:
\n\u2022 The City of Glens Falls, $1,048,257 to construct a separate stormsewer system along Walnut and Maple streets to remove stormwater from the city\u2019s combined sewer system. This project will improve water quality by reducing the occurrence of combined sewer overflows.
\n\u2022 City of Glens Falls, $100,000 to complete an engineering report that evaluates alternatives to reduce inflow and infiltration to the sanitary sewer collection system.
\n\u2022 Nettle Meadow Cheese Plant in Warrensburg, $120,000 to acquire and renovate an existing facility to increase their cheese processing space and production. They will purchase and install cheese making machinery and equipment.
\n\u2022 The Town of Chester, $25,000 to create an emergency extreme heat cooling center at the town\u2019s municipal center gymnasium\/auditorium.
\n\u2022 The Town of Hague, $30,000 to complete an engineering report that assesses inflow and infiltration issues in the wastewater treatment collection system and recommends actions to address the issues.
\n\u2022 The Town of Lake George, $50,000 to complete an engineering report that focuses on investigating sewer laterals and illicit connections to the Caldwell Sewer District. The report will include recommendations and a capital improvement plan to address deficiencies.
\n\u2022 The Town of Lake George, $30,000 to complete an engineering study to assess the feasibility of installing green infrastructure practices on Beatty Road and Cedar Lane. The goal of the project will be to identify areas that can be used to capture and infiltrate runoff to reduce the amount of pollution entering Lake George.
\n\u2022 The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation
\nDistrict, $66,000 to implement a program to replace three undersized culverts in Hague, Stony Creek and Warrensburg. The program will improve water quality by reducing erosion and sediment loading caused by excessive streambank scouring. It will also restore aquatic connectivity in the area by removing a barrier to aquatic organism passage.
\n\u2022 The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District, $27,227 to complete an engineering report for the replacement of an undersized, degrading box culvert in the Town of Hague. The culvert is located on Hague Brook, a tributary to Lake George.
\n\u2022 The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District, $27,227 to complete an engineering report for the replacement of a degrading box culvert in the Town of Queensbury. The goal of the project will be to reduce streambank erosion caused by scouring from the undersized culvert.
\n\u2022 The HomeFront Development Corp., $251,147 to assist in the renovation of mixed-use properties in the Village of Cambridge.
\n\u2022 Hubbard Hall Center for the Arts and Education, $31,600 for its workforce training and development programs. The hall runs yearlong fellowships for recent graduates aimed at giving students the skills and hands-on experience they need to pursue careers in arts administration.
\n\u2022 Luncrest Farm LLC in Washington County, $350,000 to construct a new milking center and free stall barn to house cattle, produce milk, and provide a showplace to market cattle.
\n\u2022 Town of Granville, $50,000 to be used to complete a capital improvement plan for the North Granville Water
\nDistrict.
\n\u2022 The Town of Greenwich, $49,000 to develop a Master Plan to transform an abandoned waterfront property into a new park along the Hudson River. The plan will identify park amenities such as trails and pathways, waterfront access, kayak launch, and picnic areas, and connections to the nearby Champlain Canalway Trail\/Empire State Trail and Hudson Crossing Park.
\n\u2022 The Village of Fort Ann, $30,000 to complete an engineering report summarizing results of an investigation of its sanitary sewer collection system and providing recommendations for capital improvements to correct deficiencies.
\n\u2022 Village of Fort Ann, $262,500 to install effluent ultraviolet disinfection at its wastewater treatment plant. The project will improve water quality by reducing pathogens in the treatment plant\u2019s discharge.
\n\u2022 The Village of Granville, $80,000 to install an ultraviolet disinfection system at its wastewater treatment plant. The project will improve the quality of treated effluent entering the Mettawee River.
\n\u2022 The Village and Town of Greenwich, $200,000 to complete a Brownfield Opportunity Area Nomination study for a 385-acre area with 45 potential vacant, abandoned, under utilized, or brownfield sites, including key gateway locations, large Main Street lots, and the Village\u2019s Battenkill waterfront dominated by former industrial uses. Revitalization objectives include downtown economic development, Main Street corridor\/gateway improvements, addressing environmental conditions, and waterfront access.

\n\u2022 Washington County, $150,000 for the Northern Champlain Canal Trail improvements. The 62 mile Champlain Canalway Trail was about 20% constructed in 2018. The section north of the Village of Fort Ann, stretching seven miles to the Town of Whitehall is currently designated on the shoulders of State Route 4, which is a high-speed and high-traffic roadway. Funding will assist with construction costs to bring this section off road.
