Flood Relief A Major Component of New $3.3 Billion Tax Cut and Job Creation Plan

APPLY FOR FLOOD RELIEF NOW

The ongoing effort to recover and rebuild from the destruction of Irene and Lee continues. Partnering with Governor Cuomo, I was pleased to support the creation of the New York State Flood Assistance Program this past December.

This important program is now up and running. Now is the time to apply.

Empire State Development (ESD) will distribute up to $21 million to "businesses, farms and owners of multiple dwellings" whose properties were damaged by flooding, with grants of up to $20,000 per entity possible.

The application form can be found online at http://www.esd.ny.gov/BusinessPrograms/FloodRecovery.html.

You can help play a role in this process by reviewing the budget briefing documents below, and then providing me with your feedback on the plan.
