Griffo: Local governments receiving temporary increase in AIM funding

New York State Sen. Joseph Griffo, R-C-Rome, today reported that municipalities in the 53rd Senate District will be receiving a temporary increase to their Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM).

This increase in funding is in addition to what these local governments were already set to receive from the state. Many localities rely on AIM funding for their budgets.

“Cities cannot continue to combat ever increasing operational expenses through local property tax alone,” Utica Mayor Michael Galime said. “AIM funding represents income tax and sales tax sent to Albany flowing back to our community. Utica will continue to fight for permanent, equitable increases in AIM funding, but this year in particular the temporary increase comes at a time of drastic need.”

"Unrestricted funding like AIM is vital for municipalities to address our unique needs and serve our communities effectively,” Rome Mayor Jeffrey Lanigan said. “We appreciate the recognition of our challenges and the continued support of our local leaders."
