Notice of Public Comment Period Extension for the Eligibility Guidelines for Inland Flooding and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Implementation through the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022

The New York State Department of State (NYS DOS) is extending the public comment period for the Eligibility Guidelines for Inland Flooding and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Implementation Projects through the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022.

NYS DOS will provide funding to eligible Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) communities through the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022 (Bond Act) to implement projects addressing restoration and flood risk reduction projects included in existing LWRPs. The LWRP is the Office of Planning and Development's primary grant program for working in partnership with waterfront communities across the state to address local and regional waterway issues, improve water quality and natural areas, guide development to areas with adequate infrastructure and services away from sensitive resources, promote public waterfront access and resiliency principles, and provide for redevelopment of underutilized waterfronts.

NYS DOS has extended the comment period for submitting public comments until Friday, August 16, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Public comments on the guidelines are to be submitted in writing to the contact listed below.
