New York State Officials Visit Schuyler County
At the end of August, the Governor’s Strategic Initiative Assessment Team (SIAT) visited the Southern Tier and spent time touring completed and in-process projects that have been funded, in part, with grant dollars from the NYS Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process through the Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council (STREDC). This team plays a key role is evaluating past CFA performance and assessing regional plans for the $1.5 billion Upstate Revitalization Initiative competition. One stop on the tour–as shown in the picture above–was Watkins Glen International, which received state funding to assist with the$10,000,000-$12,000,000 track pavement reconstruction project that is currently underway.
