Congratulations Village of Hamburg Mayor Tom Tallman, Village Trustees and all the Village Staff who work so relentlessly to win these transformative grants.
The communities of Hamburg, Falconer and Jamestown are celebrating this weekend after the announcement of substantial grant funding from the state.
On a visit to Buffalo Friday morning, Governor Kathy Hochul announced these communities had been named the latest winners of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative and the NY Forward Program.
Jamestown will receive $10 million through the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, while Falconer and Hamburg will each receive $4.5 million through the NY Forward Program.
Hochul highlighted Jamestown's success when it previously received a revitalization grant.
"I didn't want to overlook the little guys, you know, because I know what that's like," Hochul said. "And now we've breathed life, new life into 151 communities, many across Western New York, and in fact, Jamestown was one of an early winners, about an hour and a half south of here, and they did a fabulous job. They turned $10 million into $57 million in private investment."
