Congressman Nick Langworthy has announced a $50,000 grant for the City of Elmira’s Planning and Zoning Update project.
The Appalachian Regional Commission and New York State have awarded the grant to help the City of Elmira rezone and develop a zoning process that is in line with its needs.
In addition to the latest grant, New York State sources are providing $180,000 towards the project.
Elmira last updated its Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations in 2016 and 1998.
“I’m proud to announce the $50,000 ARC grant for the City of Elmira,” said Congressman Langworthy. “By updating these two projects, Elmira will be able to access new funding sources, ensure economic growth opportunities, and streamline development.”
“I want to thank Congressman Nick Langworthy and our great team at City Hall for working together to secure this $50,000 grant towards our city planning and zoning updates,” said Mayor Daniel Mandel, City of Elmira. “Every dollar we can get through grant funding means savings for our Elmira Taxpayers, and that is why I have put an emphasis on working with our Congressman and State Representatives to seize as many opportunities as we can find. The funds here will help pay for our 10-year comprehensive plan which will be a great tool to guide construction, growth and investment across our city.”
