COUNTY OF ERIE

  County EXECUTIVE

  January 9, 2026

Honorable Mark Nephew
Mayor, Village of Gowanda  i
27 East Main Street
Gowanda,  NY 14070

Dear Mayor Nephew:

  tam pleased to inform you that the following project submitted by the Village of Gowanda for
funding assistance through the Erie County Consortium Community Development Block Grant Program
has been approved for the noted dollar amount.

  St. Johns Park Improvement Project  $150,000.00

  The project is included in our 2026 draft Annual Action Plan scheduled for a 30-day public review
period beginning January 9, 2026.

  Congratulations on a fine application.  The Consortium’s Project Selection Committee received
twenty-five (25) proposals. Unfortunately, the available funds limited the number of approved
applications to thirteen (13). This reflects the very competitive nature and great interest in the Block
Grant Program throughout the County.

  Once again, congratulations and please contact Erie County Department of Environment and  i
Planning Principal Contract Monitor Paul D’Orlando at (716)858-2194 should you have any questions.

  Very truly yours,
  i
