New York State's Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), a cornerstone of the State's economic development program, transforms downtown neighborhoods into vibrant centers that offer a high quality of life and are magnets for redevelopment, business, job creation, and economic and housing diversity.

The City of Oneida was awarded $10 Million in DRI Round Five to develop a downtown strategic investment plan and implement key catalytic projects that advance the community’s vision for revitalization.
