HNECEIVE MAY 26 2026 a N TY OF ERIE] TOWN OF AURORA DIVISION OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMHNT SU PERVISORS OFFICE DANIEL R. CASTLE, AICP ZAQUE EVANS, PHD COMMISSIONER DEPUTY COMMISSIONER & CHIEF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICER May 22, 2026 Honorable Charles D. Snyder Town of Aurora 575 Oakwood Avenue East Aurora, NY 14052 Dear Supervisor Snyder: This letter pertains to the 2003 Local Cooperation Agreement between the Town of Aurora and Erie County relative to the Erie County Community Development Block Grant Consortium. Please be aware that, by its terms, the Agreement will be renewed for an additional three years (2027 through 2029) unless the Municipality provides a written notification to my attention indicating its desire to terminate the Agreement. Such action would remove the Municipality from Consortium membership and thus from eligibility for receiving Federal Community Development Block Grant funds under the Consortium’s Entitlement Program for the 2027 through 2029 program years. The Municipality would also be unable to access funds through the federal HOME Investment Partnership Program for the same period. It should also be noted that if your Municipality chooses to remain with the urban county, it is also a participant in the HOME Program if the urban county receives HOME funding and may only receive a formula allocation under the HOME Program as part of the urban county, although this does not preclude the urban county or a unit of government within the urban county from applying to the State for HOME funds, should it be allowed by New York State. By remaining with the urban county, your Municipality is also a participant in the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program and may only receive a formula allocation under the ESG Program as a part of the urban county, although this does not preclude the urban county or a unit of government within the urban county from applying to the State for ESG funds, if so allowed by New York State.
