About NY BRICKS & Governor Hochul's Unplug & Play Initiative

The Governor's new Unplug and Play initiative earmarks $100 million for the construction and renovation of community centers through the Build Recreational Infrastructure for Communities, Kids and Seniors (NY BRICKS); $67.5 million for the Places for Learning, Activity and Youth Socialization (NY PLAYS) initiative helping New York communities construct new playgrounds and renovate existing playgrounds; and an additional $90 million for the continuation of the Statewide Investment in More Swimming (NY SWIMS) initiative including $50 million for a competitive grant program supporting municipalities in the renovation and construction of swimming facilities and $40 million for other swimming-based investments. Additionally, “Get Offline, Get Outside,” is an initiative launched by Governor Hochul to promote physical and mental health by encouraging kids and families to put down their screens, take a break from social media, enjoy recreation and the outdoors, and put their mental and physical health first.

Statement for NY BRICKS:

Please note that Appendix 6 “NY BRICKS Scoring Matrix” has been revised.  In the “NY BRICKS- PROJECT VIABILITY SCORING MATRIX”, under “Construction Readiness,” question 3 now shows that an applicant may earn up to 4 (four) points depending upon their response to the question and any applicable documentation.  This was always intended to create a maximum of 100 points overall that could be earned by an applicant.  The original document posted with the RFA incorrectly indicated that applications could only score a maximum of 2 (two) points.  All members of the scoring team will use the revised version of Appendix 6 to rate applications.
