Mark your calendar for this important village event!

Fort Plain, NY – Next week marks Fort Plain’s first public forum will to get ideas from residents on what they’d like to see included in the village’s 2024 application for New York’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI)/NY Forward Program. The public forum will be at 6:00 p.m at the Village Hall located at 16 River Street.

Fort Plain is perfectly positioned for this year’s DRI/NY Forward program

The Village has identified several possible transformative projects for the program and wants to hear any ideas residents may have. This is a perfect opportunity for those living in Fort Plain to share what projects are most important for the community. If funding is awarded, a local planning committee will be assembled, supported by a team from New York’s Department of State, to draft a strategic investment plan creating a blueprint for how the funds will be distributed. With the support of the community, the Village government hopes to usher in a new era of growth and development for Fort Plain’s Downtown.

The forum will be held on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. and feature a brief presentation to provide additional details on the DRI program followed by an open discussion. This format will help clarify where the community would like to see funding allocated. All village residents are encouraged to attend and participate in the discussion to help determine which projects will help Fort Plain’s downtown area for years to come.
