Grant FundingUtilitiesDetected Jun 8, 2026

The City of Ogdensburg approved submission of a Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP) application to fund an advanced water metering infrastructure project. The project will install new water meters and related components to improve water efficiency, reduce water loss, modernize utility operations, and enhance long‑term sustainability of the public water distribution system. The maximum grant award is $3 million with an 80/20 cost split, meaning the City must provide a 20% local match from local, state, or federal sources if funded.This is an early-stage initiative: no vendor has been selected yet, and the scope will need detailed design, hardware/software selection, field deployment, data integration, and ongoing support. This creates a strong opportunity for metering, AMI/AMR, utility analytics, and implementation vendors to help shape the technical approach and funding strategy as the grant is developed and, if awarded, implemented.

Project references related funding programs WIIA and DWSRF administered by NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation; AMI/AMR platform, customer portal, and meter data management system are likely components though not yet defined.

Budget Planning

The Evergreen Underground Water Conservation District posted a public hearing on its proposed tax rate for tax year 2026. The board had not yet voted, and the proposed total tax rate was 0.004494 per $100 versus 0.004353 last year. The tax rate supports operation and maintenance, so this is a budget-setting signal rather than a procurement. The next real decision point was the board action at the August 21, 2026 meeting.

Contract Award

The board agenda includes a vote on a Behind the Meter Generation Capacity Incentive Program. The item is specific enough to show a defined utility incentive program, even though the document does not name a vendor or dollar amount. A finalized program would drive enrollment, program administration, and supporting services.
