In order to maintain and expand our infrastructure to meet our current and future needs, the Village of Sleepy Hollow seeks funding from County, State and Federal sources. These additional funds supplement Sleepy Hollow’s capital budget, lessening the financial burden on taxpayers
Over the last few years, The Village of Sleepy Hollow was awarded in grants close to $10 million earmarked for 21 projects. These funds were obtained by the Village after submitting applications to a variety of public sources. Each grant required that the village demonstrate the capacity to complete the proposed project or program and our record for successfully disbursing public funds in the past.
