Dobbs Ferry will receive $4.5 million from New York State to help revitalize the village’s downtown. For the Mid-Hudson region, Dobbs Ferry and Nyack were awarded NY Forward Grants of the same amount, while Poughkeepsie received $10 million from the State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative. The grants were announced during a press conference in Poughkeepsie on Tuesday, March 11. 

Dobbs Ferry was awarded the grant for proposals to upgrade public parks and sidewalks and to turn a former theater on Cedar Street into a public performance space. According to Dobbs Ferry Mayor Vincent Rossillo, it’s the largest single grant the Village has ever received.
