About the Office of Planning, Development, & Community Infrastructure
The Office of Planning, Development and Community Infrastructure (OPDCI) increases resilience and sustainable growth of New York communities by advancing land use solutions and targeted investments in critical infrastructure that support community-based development. This is accomplished through effective plan-then-implement programs, providing technical assistance including supplemental support to local governments with limited capacity and Disadvantaged Communities (DAC); coordination with state and federal agencies; and meaningful partnerships with community and education serving nonprofit organizations, academia, private developers, natural resource and social service agencies and other stakeholders.
OPDCI offers a variety of funding opportunities—as well as technical assistance, education and capacity-building—that provide the community infrastructure needed to create vibrant, walkable, sustainable, equitable and resilient places and communities. Programs include the Downtown Revitalization Initiative; NY Forward; Local Waterfront Revitalization Program; Brownfield Opportunity Area; Smart Growth Planning and Zoning; Ocean & Great Lakes; and Long Island South Shore Estuary reserve, among others. These programs support the State’s climate resilience and sustainability based economic development policies, as well as equity, health, aging, housing, tourism and natural resource protection goals, among others.
