Monticello, NY – Sullivan County has made $100,000 available for municipalities, non-profits, and community organizations through the renewal of the Plans & Progress Community Development incentive program.
The Plans & Progress Program provides grants of up to $10,000 to assist local municipalities, community groups, and not-for-profit organizations throughout Sullivan County with projects related to tourism, community and economic development, image enhancement, trails development, health improvement, agricultural and farmland protection, and other community goals.
“This program has proven vital to a number of worthwhile initiatives, and I’m pleased that we have been able to allocate funding to enable it to return,” District 8 Legislator Ira Steingart, chair of the Legislature’s Planning Committee, said. “I invite anyone to email or call our Planning team to find out whether they’re eligible and how they can obtain one of these truly transformative grants.”
The program is administered by the Division of Planning, Community Development and Environmental Management. More information, including the program guidelines and application forms, is available on the County website at SullivanNY.us. To find it, go the Planning Division page and look in the lefthand menu column for “Community Development and Housing.”
