The relief program is part of a state-funded flood relief program announced in July that will “target property owners of mixed-use or commercial buildings located in a downtown district or ‘Main Street’ area that has experienced substantial uncompensated flood damage.” The counties included in this program are Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Orange, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, Tioga and Ulster.
Applicants are required to provide “proof that monies from flood insurance and any other aid have already been pursued before they can receive grant money.” The grant money can be utilized “to repair flood damaged property or as reimbursement for completed repairs, improvements to property to prevent future flood damage including the relocation of electrical and heating services or other systems above flood plain areas.”
Those interested in applying can either call CPC at (212) 869-5300 ext. 636 or email FloodRelief@communityp.com.
