On January 11, 2017, BCONE President Steve Jaffe submitted a letter to Governor Cuomo in support of the $2 million dollars recently allotted for BOA grants in the current budget year. That funding will go to communities that are already in the program and are working toward official designation, which will make their brownfield sites eligible for enhanced tax credits. BCONE also asked that the program be reinvigorated to a degree that would allow for new communities to seek BOA status.
