Senator Martins: Westbury Receives $10 Million For Downtown Revitalization

     Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) recently joined Governor Andrew Cuomo and Village of Westbury officials in announcing a $10 million state investment in the Westbury community.  The funding, awarded through the State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, will be used by the Village to continue its revitalization efforts and generate new opportunities for long-term growth and prosperity.

     “This announcement is a well-deserved recognition of the hard work that has gone into revitalizing Westbury’s downtown. This new funding will capitalize on past success and bolster immense growth and vitality for Westbury and the surrounding communities. With this funding, Governor Cuomo and the Regional Economic Development Council are investing in not only our downtown district, but in our region’s bright future. I thank the Governor for ensuring that Westbury remains an economic generator for Long Island and I look forward to seeing our progress in years to come,” said Senator Martins

     “Over the past six years, our Regional Councils have played an integral role in generating economic opportunity in communities across the state,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Downtown Revitalization Initiative will build on that momentum by investing in local assets to attract jobs, private investment and transform downtown areas into vibrant, diverse and economically active hubs. This investment will grow Westbury’s burgeoning business district, community cornerstones and cultural charm and continue moving the region forward for years to come.”
