East Harlem DRI Boundary
The DRI provides an opportunity for stakeholders and community members to submit projects that will be considered by the Local Planning Committee (LPC) for inclusion in the DRI Strategic Investment Plan. Projects should advance East Harlem's vision and leverage additional investment. Projects may range in cost and scale, from small improvements to large-scale construction projects.
Prospective applicants are required to demonstrate their preparedness and ability to both identify and execute a completed and eligible project. These projects should work towards a collective goal of successfully achieving a community vision.
