Project sponsors can still pitch ideas through October 1; the Strategic Investment Plan follows shortly after. This is the third and most consequential Local Planning Committee meeting so far.

Watch which projects make the final funding slate.

Supervisor interim appointment due

Rod Howe's exit this Friday leaves a seat to fill immediately.

The formal search for a permanent successor begins mid-cycle, landing alongside the 2027 budget and the Seneca Street garage project rollout. Who gets picked signals which priorities the board sees as urgent heading into fall.

Expect the announcement by Friday afternoon.

KI-Zusammenfassung

The City of Ithaca is advancing its Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) planning process with the third Local Planning Committee meeting scheduled for September 16, 2026, to review public engagement findings and project development progress toward the Strategic Investment Plan. The state-funded program provides $10 million to strengthen downtown as a vibrant place to live, work, and do business. An online community survey remains open through October 1 with over 250 responses so far, and project sponsors can submit proposals through the same deadline for evaluation and potential DRI funding consideration.
