Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced that the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) is awarding nearly $4.4 million in funding for projects across Upstate New York and the North Country.

Grant awardees include Adirondack Land Trust, North Country Family Health Center, Inc., The Village of Granville, and Essex Food Hub, Inc.

In March 2024, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik voted for the passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act which secured $41 million in funding for the Northern Border Regional Commission. In June 2023, Stefanik introduced bipartisan legislation to extend NBRC for ten years while making critical reforms to encourage economic development, enhance access to rural healthcare, and streamline bureaucratic processes within the NBRC.

Adirondack Land Trust will receive a grant amount of $3,000,000; North Country Family Health Center, Inc. will receive $549,500; The Village of Granville will receive $350,000; and Essex Food Hub, Inc. will receive $500,000.

“I’m proud to announce that I helped secure nearly $4.4 million in funding to complete important projects throughout our Upstate and North Country communities via NBRC which will spur economic growth and community development,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. “Bringing investments back to our community remains one of my top priorities which is why I introduced legislation to reauthorize the NBRC for ten years. I look forward to continuing to bolster NBRC’s efforts to enhance rural healthcare and encourage job creation across NY-21.”
