Mayor “Hub” Frawley Announces
“Great Things on the Horizon for the Village of Angola”
The Village of Angola is proud to have been awarded $299,500 for the relocation and preservation of 1882 Nickel Plate Depot. With contributions coming from the Evans Township Lions Club, The Angola Parks and Gazebo Committee and private donations the Village was able to secure the Land at 161 South Main Street (across from the South Main Street Angola Fire Hall) for the placement and renovation of this piece of Railroad History. The project should begin in the summer 2017, with plans to relocate and preserve the Depot into a Railroad Museum and hopefully a Railway Technology Station. With the rich railway history and railroad buffs coming from all over, this project will surely be an asset to foot traffic in the Village. The Village of Angola Clerk-Treasurer Linda Giancarlo, with the help of ECIDA Grant Writer Lori Szewczyk and the VILLAGE OF ANGOLA MAYOR, BOARD MEMBERS, ATTORNEY, VILLAGE EMPLOYEES and VILLAGE ENGINEER worked as a dedicated team to procure this Restore NY Grant. If anyone has old railroad artifacts they would like to contribute or if you are interested in participating in this project moving forward Contact the Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Giancarlo at (716) 549-1126. It was nice to be able to utilize Restore NY Funds in a positive way that will add a beautiful asset to the Village of Angola Community. The Village is grateful to ECIDA in offering their expertise in the application process.
----------------------------------------------------
The Village was also able to secure Funding through Erie County Smart Growth Funds for much needed sidewalk installation on Mill Street as well as playground equipment for Herman Park on Mill Street, this grant was prepared by Grant Writer Lori Szewczyk of the Town of Evans and the Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Giancarlo.
-------------------------------------------------
The Village of Angola has also received confirmation that they may receive funding through an application applied to New York State DASNY-SAM Grant for safe handicap access sidewalks on School Street, a DPW Mongoose Jetter for the clearing of storm drains and more playground equipment for Herman Park.
------------------------------------------
The Village has been blessed year after year with CDBG funds through Erie County for several waterline replacement projects, most recently including, Grove Street; Mill and Locust Street; and currently Lorain Street. Thanks to Erie County CDBG opportunities the Village is actively addressing the replacement of old water lines.
The Village also applied for NYS Water Infrastructure Improvement Act- EFC Grant for an approx.. 6 million dollar project for replacement of our main waterline infrastructure, the Village DPW has attacked so many water line breaks due to the over 100 year old infrastructure slowly collapsing, line after line. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be approved.
----------------------------------------
The Village of Angola Business District has been approved for the Erie County Façade Program. You will start seeing many Improvements on Main Street come this summer, and if you are a Main Street Business and are interested in applying for this program which is a 50-50 match for updates/improvements to your Façade contact the Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Giancarlo for information. (716) 549-1126
The Village of Angola recently received two Joint Grants with the Town of Evans. One for the updating of the Master Plan for the Village and the Town, and one a for Records Storage area. The two boards have been actively involved with both of these projects.
The Village Clerk-Treasurer Linda Giancarlo has been the administrator for most of these grant opportunities and will be working to finalize the approved projects by the end of 2017. The Village looks forward to the benefits of these added assets to our community. For information on any of these grants contact the Village Hall (716) 549-1126 or email the Village Clerk at. angolaclerk@verizon.net
