Auditors estimate the district could have realized $1 million in additional revenues 

Auditors determined that the district’s investments were legal, safe and liquid. However, district officials did not develop and manage a comprehensive investment program. For example, during the audit period, officials did not prepare any cash flow forecasts to estimate funds available for investment or solicit interest rate quotes from financial institutions. As a result, officials missed an opportunity for the district to realize additional revenues of more than $1 million.

Grants Range from $10,000 to $10 Million for Organizations of All Sizes; Applications Due January 12, 2027

Sept. 15, 2026 – Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that $80 million in capital funding is now available to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations through the New York State Council on the Arts Capital Projects Fund. The Fund has three grant categories: Small and Midsized Capital Improvement Grants, Large Capital Improvement Grants, and Capital Design Grants for Arts and Culture. The $80 million funding opportunity builds on the $82 million in capital awards made by NYSCA earlier this year, including multi-year funding to facilitate large-scale capital projects that prioritize community development and placemaking.

“New York’s arts and cultural organizations are a key driver of our thriving communities — fueling local economies and drawing visitors from around the world,” Governor Hochul said. “By investing in new construction, accessibility improvements and environmental sustainability initiatives, these organizations can grow, expand and continue to inspire the communities they serve.”

NYSCA’s Capital Projects Fund will support arts and cultural nonprofits seeking State funding for investments in capital improvements that allow organizations to sustain and expand cultural programming for diverse audiences, promote accessibility and environmental sustainability, preserve and create jobs, and ultimately contribute to the growth of New York’s dynamic arts and tourism sectors. Grants range from $10,000 to $10 million to support organizations and projects of all sizes.

The three FY27 Capital Projects Fund opportunities are:

Small and Midsize Capital Improvement Grants for Arts and Culture: This opportunity funds projects initiated by nonprofit arts and cultural organizations of any size, with construction and capital equipment grants of up to $2 million that prioritize accessibility, artistry, cultural development, sustainability, health and safety, and structural and historical improvements. Grants of $50,000 to $2 million support up to 50 percent of the project’s total cost. No-match grants of $10,000 to $99,000 are also available for organizations with operating budgets under $2 million. Strong projects combine excellence in design with informed decisions about organizational capacity and community needs that will positively affect the future of arts and cultural organizations across New York. 

Large Capital Improvement Grants for Arts and Culture: This opportunity will support arts and cultural nonprofits across the state that are undertaking impactful, large-scale capital improvements. Grants will range from $2 million to $10 million for projects that have a total cost of $4 million or more (grants support a maximum of 50 percent of the project’s total cost). This funding will support investments that allow organizations to thrive by expanding cultural programming, reaching new and diverse audiences, and promoting accessibility. These grants will also help advance the State’s goals around economic development and will require all applicants to commit to social equity initiatives and access plans that serve all New Yorkers. 

Capital Design Grants for Arts and Culture: This opportunity will support the development of mid-stage and advanced design documents for arts and cultural nonprofits with operating budgets of $10 million or less across the state that are planning eligible capital improvements and are currently in the early stages of design. Grants will range from $50,000 to $500,000, for a maximum of 50 percent of the design phase’s total cost. No-match grants of $10,000 to $99,000 will also be available for organizations with budgets under $2 million. 

The application portal and guidelines for these opportunities are now open, and can be accessed on NYSCA’s website, arts.ny.gov. The deadline to submit completed applications is January 12, 2027, at 5pm. All eligible New York State nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are encouraged to apply for NYSCA’s Capital Projects Fund. NYSCA will also conduct webinars about the application process and host multiple virtual office sessions for applicants to receive one-on-one assistance before the January 12, 2027, deadline. Grant awards are expected to be announced in late spring 2027. 

Since the NYSCA Capital Projects Fund began in 2018, the agency has awarded 739 capital grants, totaling over $382 million, across all 10 state regions through the support of the Governor and Legislature. These projects increase employment capacity and advance cultural venues as tourism destinations, strengthening New York’s hospitality, food and beverage and retail sectors. In addition to the Capital Projects Fund, NYSCA has awarded $80.9 million in non-capital grants to arts organizations and artists for FY26.

Governor Hochul continues to make record investments to grow New York’s pre-eminent arts and culture sector. The FY27 budget also includes over $81 million for NYSCA general operating support to non-profit organizations and individual artists. These grants will be awarded at the end of the calendar year.

There was no public comment at this time. 

Applications:

1. 1. File # P-2026-008 – Site Plan Review – Parcel ID# 280.1-9-40 – 38 Pleasant St. – John Canning – APPLICANT SEEKS TO CHANGE FROM A DUPLEX TO A TRIPLEX APARTMENT BUILDING BY TURNING THE 2^ND FLOOR OF HOME INTO A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT.  

This application was withdrawn by the applicant because it was discovered that the previous owners already went in front of the planning board and received approval for this project in December 2017. The codes secretary presented the official minutes from that meeting to the board as proof. The applicant submitted a letter in writing with his signature to officially withdraw his application. 

The applicant has already submitted an application and received a building permit to complete this project. The codes officer, Duane Bibeau, went over the requirements of this project with the applicant earlier today. The applicant will have to remove all the sheet rock on the ceiling of the first floor and insert 5/8 fire code sheet rock. He will need egress windows in the bedroom and escape routes upstairs. There are porches around house, so it would be less than 2-story drop in case of an emergency. The electrical will need to be inspected by a 3^rd party inspector after the fact to ensure compliance before a certificate is issued from the codes office. All the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors will be hard wired in. 

Motion: It was decided and agreed upon that the board did not need to vote to accept the withdrawal of this application. 

1. 2. File # P-2026-010 – Minor 2-Lot Subdivision – Parcel ID# 269.-1-30 – 3219 Route 22 – Lynn & Howard Manning Jr. – APPLICANT SEEKS TO CREATE A 6.04 ACRE LOT OUT OF THEIR EXISTING 22.5 ACRE PROPERTY.

The landowners were not present at this meeting. Speaking on their behalf is Marc Machabee, land surveyor from Machabee Land Surveying in Plattsburgh, NY. The owners want to give the new 6.04 acre lot to their son. There is currently an animal barn and a fenced in area on the property. Mr. Machabee told the board that would all be coming down. The board had no other comments or concerns about this application.  Read more »

Comedian and cancer survivor Wendy Hammers performing “Fifty Shades of Gray Hair & Other Gifts of Grateful Aging,” a heartwarming and hilarious message about self-love, humor as medicine and what it means to really live

Actress, Comedian brings laughter, hope and inspiration

 Plattsburgh, N.Y. — The Foundation of Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) will host its 26th and final Girls Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Strand Theater.

Held in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this year’s event features actress, comedian and cancer survivor Wendy Hammers performing “Fifty Shades of Gray Hair & Other Gifts of Grateful Aging.” It’s her heartwarming and hilarious message about self-love, humor as medicine and what it means to really live.

Hammers has built a successful career as an actress and comedian, appearing opposite Larry David on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, being featured by Oprah Winfrey as a comic and performing stand-up comedy across the country. At age 54, she faced her most challenging role yet after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. More than nine years later, she shares the lessons she learned, offering a fresh and funny perspective on aging, wellness and embracing change.

For 26 years, Girls Night Out has provided women throughout the North Country an opportunity to get together, laugh, learn and focus on their wellbeing. “This is the perfect way to celebrate the friendships, connections and inspiration Girls Night Out has offered to thousands of women over the years,” said Foundation Manager of Events and Special Projects Michelle Senecal.  Senecal explained that The Foundation has decided to sunset Girls Night Out and focus its efforts on other community health initiatives.

Tickets are $30, inclusive of all fees, and are available online at strandcenter.org/theatre-events or at the Strand Welcome Center, 23 Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh. Welcome Center hours are Wednesday through Friday from 1 to 8 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm.

Reservations may be required at some locations.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. September 14th 2026 – After years of planning and hoping to create a website that better serves the veterans, families, volunteers, and supporters of North Country Honor Flight, the organization is proud to announce the launch of its brand-new website: northcountryhonorflight.org.

The new website provides a modern, accessible, and easier-to-navigate online home for the organization and the veterans it serves.

The website was generously donated, designed and built by Champlain Valley Web Designs, a local Plattsburgh, N.Y., web design agency specializing in websites for small businesses and community organizations throughout Northern New York and Vermont.

“We have talked about having a new website for years, and seeing this goal finally come to life is incredibly exciting,” said Jerika Manning, Executive Officer of North Country Honor Flight. “Our website is often the first place people go when they want to learn about North Country Honor Flight. It needed to reflect who we are, the importance of our mission, and the incredible veterans we have the privilege of serving.”

The website serves a wide range of people who connect with North Country Honor Flight, including:

• Veterans looking for information about the Honor Flight program and how to apply.

• Guardians and families preparing for upcoming flights and looking for important trip information.

• Volunteers interested in becoming involved and supporting the organization’s mission.

• Donors and community supporters looking to make a contribution and help send local veterans to Washington, D.C.

• Family members and friends looking for photographs and memories from their loved one’s Honor Flight.

• Community members who want to learn more about the organization’s mission and upcoming events.

A Local Partnership

North Country Honor Flight is especially grateful to Champlain Valley Web Designs for helping make this longtime goal possible.

Owner and founder Mason Kozak hand-codes each website in HTML and CSS rather than relying on page builders or plugins. This approach helps create websites that are fast, secure, and customized to the needs of each organization.

Champlain Valley Web Designs works with small businesses and community organizations throughout Northern New York and Vermont. In addition to website design and development, the agency provides hosting, website updates, search engine optimization, and digital marketing services after launch.

“We are incredibly grateful to Mason and Champlain Valley Web Designs for investing their time and expertise into North Country Honor Flight,” Manning said. “Mason understood our mission and helped us create something that will serve our organization and our veterans for years to come.”

North Country Honor Flight encourages veterans, families, volunteers, donors, and community members to visit the new website and explore everything the organization has to offer.

Visit the new website at northcountryhonorflight.org.
