Village of Mamaroneck Utilizes CDBG Funds, Awarded Funding Due to Westchester’s Urban County Consortium.

County reinstituted program during County Executive Latimer’s first term in 2018.

 

(White Plains, NY) – Prior to County Executive George Latimer taking office, Westchester County municipalities were missing out on opportunities for federal funding that can be used to improve vital infrastructure due to the prior administration decision to end the Westchester Urban County Consortium. In order to enable Westchester municipalities to apply for federal community development funding, Latimer officially re-established the Westchester Urban County Consortium in 2018.

 

Thanks to this foresight, local municipalities are now taking full advantage of this funding. The Village of Mamaroneck, a member of the Urban Consortium, has been awarded funding for two projects based on the re-establishment of this program and their membership in it.

 

Latimer said: “When we took office in 2018, reestablishing this program was one of our top priorities. We knew that there were so many important projects that were left on the chopping block – missing out on improvements to our downtowns and jobs for our workforce. These projects are a direct result of our community approach to governing.”
