Moving Montgomery Forward
The Village of Montgomery was awarded $4.5 million through the NY Forward program to create more walkable, sustainable, resilient, and economically robust downtown areas. After two Public Workshops, a handful of engagement events, and six Local Planning Committee (LPC) meetings, Montgomery has finalized a slate of proposed projects (see the table at the bottom of this page) that it will submit to New York State in December 2024 as part of the Strategic Investment Plan. A multiagency State team will review each project and award funding to a subset of the projects submitted.

About the NY Forward Program
The Village of Montgomery was awarded $4.5 million in funding as one of the Mid-Hudson region’s winners of the second round of NY Forward.
Launched in 2022, New York State's NY Forward program builds on the success of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) program. NY Forward focuses on invigorating and revitalizing downtowns in smaller and rural communities—villages, hamlets, and other small, neighborhood-scale municipal centers. The State has allocated $100 million for the second round of NY Forward. Each of the State's ten Regional Economic Development Councils (REDCs) selected two communities per region to receive $4.5 million, bringing the total amount of funding allocated for all rounds of DRI and NY Forward to $1 billion.
Final Slate of NY Forward Projects
