On November 22, 2021, Governor Hochul Announced that the Village of Ossining was awarded $10 Million as one of the two Mid-Hudson Winners of Fifth-Round Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). The DRI works to transform downtown neighborhoods into vibrant communities where New Yorkers want to live, work, and play. Winners of this grant are provided with funding for the much-needed infrastructure to ensure equitable and accessible future growth while improving the wellbeing of traditionally underserved communities.

This is an opportunity to think big and to realize our vision for a thriving downtown!
