New York state has awarded millions of dollars to Johnson City to encourage more economic development activity in the village's downtown business district.
Norwich, NY is the latest winner in New York State's Downtown Revitalization Initiative to give a needed economic boost to select communities that will help that municipality become a more vibrant community.
A municipality must first develop a strategic plan that clearly demonstrates a vision for the revitalization of its downtown and provides a list of city projects that have the greatest potential to jumpstart revitalization for that downtown and realize the community's vision for the downtown.
