Here’s why it’s important. New Rochelle is competing hard for the State’s new Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI.) Through this program, ten communities will be selected to receive $10 million each, with funding aimed at making downtown areas healthier and more vibrant.
New Rochelle has a very strong application, and our local downtown plan is a near-perfect match for the DRI’s criteria. But only one city in the entire Hudson Valley will be chosen, which means the competition is stiff. And local support will be a factor in the State’s decision.
That’s where the petition comes in. By signing – and encouraging your friends to sign – you can help demonstrate that the people of New Rochelle support positive changes in our downtown.
$10 million would be a huge shot in the arm for our city and for our ambitious downtown plans. So please help New Rochelle win! Sign today and pass it along.
