Welcome to Chittenango’s NY Forward Homepage

The Village of Chittenango is one of two communities in the Central New York region to be selected for the third round of the State’s NY Forward program. Chittenango was awarded $4.5 million to help complete transformative and/or catalytic projects in and near downtown. NY Forward funds are also used to provide robust capacity-building and technical assistance directly to communities throughout each phase of the program.

This site will be updated throughout the planning process this year with information about upcoming meetings, ways to share your ideas and feedback, and past meeting summaries.

Please give us your feedback on the project by taking this survey https://forms.office.com/r/bqxztiUqXa

About NY Forward

This is the third year of New York State’s NY Forward (NYF) program to invigorate and enliven downtowns in New York’s smaller and rural communities. As a complement to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), NY Forward focuses on creating healthy, vibrant, walkable downtowns that catalyze sustainable economic development and accrue numerous economic, social, and environmental benefits to the locality, the region, and the State as a whole.

NY Forward is led by the NYS Department of State (DOS), in close partnership with Empire State Development (ESD), NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). For more information, please visit https://www.ny.gov/programs/ny-forward.
