Transformational projects to be considered for the Regional Council’s Strategic Plan must complete Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) by October 31st deadline

The North Country Regional Economic Development Council (NCREDC) strongly recommends that all proposals and suggestions being considered for the NCREDC’s Strategic Plan complete the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA).  Economic development projects that have the potential to transform the North Country Region’s economy and who have already submitted their projects to the NCREDC must complete a CFA prior to the application deadline of October 31 in order to be eligible to access $1 billion in economic development funding from the State. This would include community based projects, as well as projects from private businesses.   Once the CFA is submitted by the applicant, it goes to the local Regional Economic Development Council to be reviewed and ranked as part of its strategic planning process. Application materials and a guidebook are available online at http://nyworks.ny.gov.  Read more »
