Contract Reporter Results - CWR.xlsx

This file is a Contract Reporter Results document from the New York State Department of State's Office of Planning, Development & Community Infrastructure, listing awards under the Economic Development Law Section 142 posting requirements for the Countywide Resilience Implementation Strategy Program. The document identifies five county awardees selected on the award date of December 6, 2023, for the development of Countywide Resilience Implementation Strategy Plans designed to identify and advance implementation-ready actions and projects that reduce climate-related risks and strengthen community resilience. The program targets counties as critical conveners capable of addressing regional challenges by coordinating investments across municipalities, infrastructure providers, emergency managers, economic development organizations, and community-based organizations. The awarded counties—Broome, Chautauqua, Chemung, Clinton, and Washington—will develop strategies informed by locally adopted plans such as Comprehensive Plans, Hazard Mitigation Plans, Local Waterfront Revitalization Plans, and Watershed Management Plans.

The contract awards were issued to county governments with designated primary contacts responsible for grant administration and implementation. Broome County (Jason Garnar), Chautauqua County (Paul Wendel), Chemung County (Christopher Moss), Clinton County (Mark R. Henry), and Washington County (Robert A Henke) each received funding allocations to support strategy development that advances water quality, natural resources, and sustainable land use objectives. The program leverages New York State grant funding to support regional resilience planning initiatives developed through established community engagement processes and multi-stakeholder coordination, reflecting the state's commitment to advancing climate adaptation and infrastructure resilience across rural and upstate communities.
