Moravia-Locke Chamber of Commerce

The Village of Moravia is an inaugural recipient of a NY Forward grant. The Village's Comprehensive Plan focuses on natural resource protection and downtown revitalization. The Plan was drafted by a steering committee comprised of a diverse group of community members and relied on extensive public input to form its foundation.  

"Recognize, promote, and reinvest in the downtown as the vital economic and social center of the Village,” and to “expand opportunities for businesses that align with the vision of a vibrant downtown.” Implementation measures included wayfinding, gateway, and public space improvements, as well as supporting and encouraging private investment in commercial and residential properties.   

Application includes:  

• Geographical Area & Justification
• Vision Statement
• Past Investment & Future Potential
• Recent/Impending Job Growth
• Quality of Life, Supportive Local Policies
• Public Support, Transformative Project Opportunities
• Administrative Capacity
