# Seneca County Seeks Weatherization Funding

Seneca County, New York, requested $492,944 from the state Weatherization Program to improve energy efficiency in approximately 36 homes, with no local match required. The request received committee support on October 27, 2026, but remained pending; notification was expected in early November. If funded, proposed spending is $64,315 in late 2026, $300,000 in 2027, and $128,629 in early 2028, creating potential work for contractors providing insulation, weatherstripping, appliances, furnaces, and other heating improvements.

- **Funding status:** The grant has not been awarded, so contractors should treat the work as a prospective opportunity rather than an active solicitation.
- Companies providing residential weatherization and heating services can use the proposed scope and phased spending schedule to assess capacity for potential county procurement activity if the grant is approved.
- The absence of a local match means the request does not depend on county matching funds; the proposed work covers approximately 36 homes.
