Mission
Local Government Assistance programs support a range of State aid and assistance for all classes of local governments. Key General Fund-supported programs include Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) which allocates direct State aid to cities, towns and villages, and the Local Government Efficiency Grant (LGEG) program; which provides grants to all classes of local governments intended to encourage municipal shared services and consolidation.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $37.9 billion in All Funds appropriations to fund miscellaneous State aid and assistance programs including $1.4 billion in General Fund support to local governments under several aid programs and $36.5 billion in Fiduciary Funds to cover contingency appropriation requirements. This is an increase of $1.2 billion in All Funds appropriations above the 2007-08 budget, consisting of a net $49 million General Fund increase primarily for AIM assistance and a $1.16 billion Fiduciary Fund increase in contingency appropriations to comply with bond covenant requirements of the New York City Municipal Assistance Corporation.
