Cooperstown has received $270,000 through their NY Forward award to establish a Small
Projects Fund. These funds are designed to assist local property and business owners in
enhancing their buildings through projects such as façade improvements, interior renovations,
and the activation of upper-story residential spaces. Projects awarded through this fund will
typically range from $25,000 to $100,000, covering up to 75% of the total project costs. This
initiative aims to stimulate economic growth, preserve historic character, and enhance the
vibrancy of Cooperstown.
This fund is being administered by Mohawk Valley Economic Development District, Inc.
(MVEDD). Applications can be found online at https://mvedd.org/cooperstown-spf, by emailing
MVEDD at: hdevitt@mvedd.org, or by calling their office at (315) 866-4671. Reach out to the
MVEDD offices for any questions, or assistance with your application.
Applications are due by June 13, 2025.
