    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the New York City Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: New York City Municipality Name: Staten Island Downtown Name: Downtown Staten Island County: Richmond Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. Downtown Staten Island is experiencing an unprecedented amount of interest from around the region and the world, including substantial public and private investment. As this influx of businesses, residents, visitors, and investors began, our community understood the absolute need for a guiding strategic vision to allow for smart growth. Community-based and civic organizations, elected officials, government agencies, educational institutions, businesses, property owners, and residents have come together in many ways to ensure that all points of view are represented and to ensure an equitable and well-balanced view of the area’s future. With its proximity to both the rest of New York City and New Jersey, Downtown Staten Island is poised to become a regional hub. There is a consensus vision of a thriving, mixed-use, mixed-income, multi-cultural waterfront community serving not only as a destination itself, but also as a vibrant connector to the rest of Staten Island, the rest of the City, and the world.
