纽约州启动7600万美元县级基建拨款第三轮 住房项目上限提至150万美元
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚10月16日在Albany宣布，县级基础设施拨款计划启动第三轮，共7600万美元可用于支持各县主导的中小型基础设施项目，申请截止日期为2027年2月5日。
霍楚表示：「现代化基础设施是社区活力与地方经济强劲的根基。通过扩大资金并提高驱动住房开发项目的奖励上限，我们给县级伙伴提供建设更强社区的工具。」本轮中，直接支持至少10套新住房的项目最高可获150万美元，高于此前100万美元；不足10套的项目最高100万美元，高于此前50万美元。申请前须先向州经济发展署（Empire State Development）提交意向书，该署计划11月中旬为各县举办线上说明会。
州经济发展署总裁、首席执行官兼专员霍普·奈特与州住房和社区重建专员鲁丝安妮·维斯纳斯卡斯均表示，县在交付住房所需基础设施方面作用关键。纽约州县协会执行主任斯蒂芬·阿夸里奥说，该计划前两轮已资助近100个项目、为近6000套新住房打下基础。据州长办公室数据，该计划最初5000万美元列入2025财年预算，2026与2027财年预算各再增5000万美元，至今已拨出逾7400万美元；全州现有450多个获认证的「亲住房」社区。
New York Opens $76 Million Third Round of County Infrastructure Grants, Raising Housing Award Cap to $1.5 Million
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced in Albany on October 16 the launch of a third round of the County Infrastructure Grant Program, with $76 million available to support small- and medium-sized county-led infrastructure projects. The application deadline is Friday, February 5, 2027.
"Modern infrastructure is the foundation of vibrant communities and strong local economies," Hochul said. "By expanding funding and raising award limits for projects that drive housing development, we are giving our county partners the tools they need to build stronger neighborhoods, attract top-tier investment, and make New York a more affordable and livable state." In the third round, projects that directly support the creation of at least 10 new housing units are eligible for up to $1.5 million, up from $1 million, while projects with fewer than 10 units are eligible for up to $1 million, up from $500,000. Empire State Development requires a Letter of Intent before a final application, and a webinar for counties is planned for mid-November.
Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight and Housing and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas both said counties play a critical role in delivering infrastructure that makes housing growth possible. Stephen J. Acquario, executive director of the New York State Association of Counties, said the program's first two rounds funded nearly 100 projects and laid the groundwork for nearly 6,000 new homes. The Governor's Office said the original $50 million program was included in the FY25 Enacted Budget, with an additional $50 million in each of the FY26 and FY27 budgets, and that more than $74 million has been awarded to date. More than 450 communities statewide, including New York City, are certified Pro-Housing communities.
