10 Niagara County projects have received a combined $10.17 million in funds, ranging from new residential developments to marketing campaigns for local businesses and Niagara Falls. Redeveloping the Rapids Theatre and new residential redevelopments on Niagara Falls’ Main Street and Tonawanda Island are some of the local projects that received state funding.
Progress on Lockport development remains uncertain as several projects that received state Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) funds remain in limbo. Planning for future DRI grants will wait another year because projects received grant extensions until February 2027.
