The North Country Infrastructure Fund will provide resources necessary to implement critical infrastructure projects including water, sewer and road or port enhancements. The project will allow each community to identify its own priorities that are aligned with the Regional Council Strategic Plan and to structure projects to support unique local needs. The objective is to leverage additional funds, attract and retain businesses, and serve existing and new residents and visitors. Regional Council working with the NYS HCRs Office of Community Renewal will make funding available to eligible municipalities for Housing Rehabilitation, Public Infrastructure, Public Facilities and Economic Development activities for the benefit of low to moderate-income individuals. Federal Industrial Development Bond (IDB) Cap will be made available for state and local government issuers to sell taxexempt bonds for eligible economic development, infrastructure and community revitalization efforts. Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits will be reserved for future projects including business investments in targeted industries that are within the region and that create or retain jobs, create capital investment and are consistent with the Strategic Plan.
