NEWBURGH – The City of Newburgh is going to apply for a $400,000 state grant for predevelopment and master planning activities for the Brownfield Opportunity Area known as ‘Newburgh Hillside.
Earlier applications for other grants did not pan out, but the city’s Development Director, Allie Church, is hopeful about this one.
“The grant is for $400,000 and that would get us all the way to the finish line of rezoning,” she said. “I plan to put in my budget a line item to start the master planning so if we don’t get it, that will allow us some work in 2027 to move us forward.”
If the city does get the grant, funds in the budget would not be drawn down.
The grant would require a 10 percent match by the city.
