Consolidated Funding season is upon us, and Poughkeepsie is in overdrive working with its public and private sector partners to continue the collaborative approach to strategic development across the City. For those who may be unaware, the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) was launched several years ago to support regional economic growth across the State. As such, the CFA allows applicants to access multiple state funding sources through one application, making the process quicker, easier and more productive.
It is worth noting that the CFA is utilized by the public and private sectors alike. Oftentimes, private sector applicants look to the City to support their efforts, and in doing so, adopt a local resolution reflecting the support that is then included in the overall application.
This year’s application deadline is July 31. You can learn more about the program and apply here.
Last year, four awards were made in the city, totaling more than $2.8 million, on a range of noteworthy projects, including for the Art Effect’s capital expansion project, the Mid Hudson Workshop for the Disabled building renovation, Family Services’ facility improvements and the city’s development of the Fall Kill Blueway Waterfront Design Guidelines.
If you are applying to the CFA this year and are interested in seeking support or need a local resolution to be adopted by the City prior to submitting your application, please contact the City of Poughkeepsie Development Department at your earliest convenience by email at development@cityofpoughkeepsie.com.
