Funds are being awarded (subject to the approval of the ESD Board of Directors as set forth herein) for the following NYS CIGP projects) to be used as outlined in your original application: • County Infrastructure Grant Program Round 1 • Town and Village of Red Hook - $1,000,000 • Project Summary - Funding will support two projects in the Village of Red Hook. The first will expand the Village's sewer system. The second will support the Red Hook Gateway Project, which will conserve 97 acres of farmland on North Broadway and transform 12 acres into an affordable housing hub. Infrastructure upgrades will include water, sewer, electricity, roads, and stormwater management. • Supports 40 New Housing Units • Total Project Cost: $5,346,400 Your ESD project manager will continue to periodically request updates and/or changes to your application (revised timeline, State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") update, State Historic Preservation Office ('SHPO") review information, Smart Growth Impact Statement ("SGIS") etc.). This project manager will work with you as necessary to finalize your application. When your application has been finalized and when the project is nearing completion, Dutchess County's County Infrastructure Grant Program project will be presented to the ESD Board of Directors for approval. The Directors typically meet on a monthly basis. Please note that no project will be presented to the ESD Board of Directors for approval until the SEQRA, SHPO and SGIS reviews have been completed and proof of matching funds has been clearly demonstrated. Please also note that there is a one percent (1%) non- reimbursable commitment fee assessed to all awardees based on the grant amount awarded. The commitment fee will be due when the applicant executes documents required for processing the award, following approval by ESD Directors. Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Articles 15-A and Article 3 of New York State Veterans' Services Law, ESD recognizes its obligation under the law to promote opportunities for maximum feasible Empire State Development :3r3: 101 : www.esd.ny.gov NEW YORK Empire State Development participation of certified minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs) and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SOBs) in the performance of ESD projects. As a recipient of this award, Dutchess County shall be required to use Good Faith Efforts to achieve MWBE and SDVOB Participation. In addition, ESD's MWBE and SOB Participation/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy will apply to this project. While ESD's agency-wide MWBE goal is 30% and SDVO8 goal is 6%, your individual project-specific goal may be higher or lower based on the detailed scope of work, budget, and information on additional sources of funding you provide on the Grant Budget and Questions form. You will be required to use Good Faith Efforts to achieve the goals assigned to this project. Compliance with laws and the policy of ESD prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of age, race, creed, color, national origin, gender, sexual preference, disability or marital status shall also be required. The Office of Contractor and Supplier Diversity (OCSD") will monitor MWBE and SDVOB utilization in connection with this project. Following board approval, all CIGP projects must go through ESD's public hearing process and subsequently be approved by the Public Authorities Control Board. Once these final steps are achieved, your project manager will send you a Grant Disbursement Agreement ("GDA") for execution. Project disbursements may only occur after ESD's receipt of the executed GDA and with the submission of the appropriate supporting documentation. As mentioned throughout the application process, payments will be made in lump sum upon project completion on a reimbursable basis. This award shall terminate two calendar years from the date of this letter if the project has not commenced. Please be aware that ESD may require restrictions on the future use of awarded sites consistent with the purposes of their CIGP grant terms. Your Project Manager will reach out shortly to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to working with you on this important project.
