NORWICH – The City of Norwich was selected as one of the Southern Tier region recipients of a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) grant.

The DRI is a statewide initiative that provides funding for high priority projects designed to boost local economies and transform city centers into vibrant neighborhoods where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live, work, and raise a family.

The DRI program in Norwich was kicked off on February 9  with the first Local Planning Committee meeting. The second LPC meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, March 8 at 3 P.M.

This meeting will provide an overview of the public engagement conducted this far, review the vision, goals, and strategies to guide investment in downtown Norwich, and present the key findings from the Downtown Profile. This meeting is open to all members of the public, with time reserved at the end of the meeting for public comment.

The City of Norwich is committed to hosting open, inclusive, and accessible meetings. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact Samantha Aldrich,  saldrich@bergmannpc.com.
