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 $835 million in All Funds appropriations to fund miscellaneous State aid and assistance programs including $802 million in General Fund support to local governments under several aid programs and $30 million in Fiduciary Funds to cover contingency appropriation requirements. This is a decrease of $37 billion in All Funds appropriations below the 2008-09 budget, consisting of a $36.7 billion decrease in contingency appropriations that are no longer needed because the New York City Municipal Assistance Corporation has fulfilled its obligations and a $290 million General Fund decrease primarily for AIM assistance.
