The Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Development<\/strong> is encouraging businesses, organizations, and municipalities to apply for grant funding through this year\u2019s New York State Consolidated Funding Application<\/strong> (CFA) process.<\/p>\n Round Eleven of the funding process through the Regional Economic Development Council was launched in May.<\/p>\n It includes core capital and tax-credit funding that will be combined with a wide range of existing agency programs totaling approximately $750 million dollars. The core funding includes $225 million dollars in grants and tax credits to fund high-value regional priority projects.<\/p>\n An emphasis will be placed on project readiness and alignment with each region\u2019s strategic plan. Additionally, projects within each region will also be eligible for a share of $75 million in Excelsior Tax Credits to help attract and grow business in the region. Projects from all 10 regions submitted through the CFA will be eligible for over $525 million in other state agency funds, which are available on a set timeline. Regional Economic Development Councils will review these projects and provide scores that reflect how well a project aligns with a region\u2019s goals and strategies.<\/p>\n The CFA applications must be submitted online, with most programs having an application deadline of 4pm, July 30th.<\/p>\n
