Who Gets What

Budget Numbers for Your Area

The NYS Budget Division has numbers posted for the Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) portion of the recently Enacted Budget.

The 2007-08 Enacted Budget restructures AIM to target additional State aid primarily to fiscally distressed municipalities. An AIM increase of $50 million is authorized in 2007-08, and in each of the three following years, for a four-year total of $200 million. These increases are tied to enhanced accountability requirements that encourage local fiscal improvement. Finally, the 2007-08 AIM program continues to provide incentive grants to local governments that consolidate or share services under a $25 million Shared Municipal Services Incentive (SMSI) grant program.

DOB allows users to search by zip code or name for their own county, city, town or village and its respective allotment of AIM funding.
