Downtown Revitalization Initiative Process
The DRI program couples strategic planning with prompt implementation. DRI communities are paired with a consultant team and a project lead from the Department of State (DOS) who guide them through a targeted community-based planning process. For Greater Morris Park, the consultant team is led by Metropolitan Urban Design (MUD) Workshop.
The DRI process begins with a six-to-eight-month planning effort leading to the creation of a Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) that identifies community Priority Projects that can help a community achieve its vision and revitalize its downtown. Priority projects are recommended to the State for funding within the awarded DRI amount. This process is led by a Local Planning Committee (LPC) with input from the Greater Morris Park (GMP) community. You can find out more about the DRI program, including past community SIPs and projects funded from those communities on the NYS Department of State’s website.
