PARTNERS
The NY Forward accomplishes its goals through a unique state-local partnership that includes the Local Planning Committee (LPC), state agency staff, and a consultant team. The LPC is responsible for representing the interests and priorities of the community, while the state agency staff ensures that the process and deliverables are consistent with the goals, priorities, and requirements of the Initiative.  In addition, the state agency staff, together with the consultants, provides expertise, guidance, and technical assistance to develop a Strategic Investment Plan that will achieve the vision and goals for revitalization of the downtown as approved by the LPC.
