2020 DRI Grant Survey

The Development Chenango Corporation is once again working to submit an application for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) that is available through NYS. With the recent State of the State and budget announcements, Governor Cuomo has invested another 100 Million dollars into this program. In anticipation of this, the DCC has been working on plans to rework the 2019 application and they have received feedback from those at Empire State Development (ESD), and the REDC Council on ways to make the application stronger for the next round. A group
of stakeholders has been identified to begin this process, and they plan to form work groups from additional colleagues from around the Norwich area. Part of the process is to gather feedback from our business community, local non-profits, community groups and citizens to help assess
our needs.
 
They ask that you take some time fill out this survey and help them through this first step.
They plan to continue to communicate as the
plan moves forward using their resources at Commerce Chenango, local media and social media.
 
**Note you do not need to have a Google account to fill out this survey, but some IT systems may block this link. If you have trouble, please try using another device (not at work or from another location) and if needed I can mail you one.
