#1 - Downtown Revitalization Fund Program Administrator

The City of Peekskill received a $700,000 grant through the NYS Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), administered by the NYS Department of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), to fund a newly created Downtown Revitalization Fund (DRF).  $70,000 of this grant may be spent to hire a consultant (Program Administrator) who will provide all project management services and oversight to implement the DRF and grant. The City of Peekskill is requesting proposals from qualified consultants (individuals or firms) to administer the DRF and grant.
The selected consultant (Program Administrator) will generally be responsible to:

• Manage the DRF and grant and implement the procedures contained in Peekskill’s DRF Administrative Plan.
• Manage the implementation of a variety of projects (TBD) such as building and façade renovations and business expansions after individual awards are made.
• Manage the grant budget by overseeing project expenditures, making payments, and submitting reimbursement documentation to NYS.
