Now it's sharing strategies with other cities struggling to compete. A(***(�® New York City won a grant for a restoration project at the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, one of a number of awards it has received under the federal climate and infrastructure laws. Photographer.- Craig Warga One of the city's most critical steps has been to create a central task force of about 20 city agencies to team up on funding proposals, said Meera Joshi, New York's deputy mayor for operations. "We've been pushing them to think creatively, to combine on grant applications, and then break a few norms that had previously been sort of set in stone," Joshi said. "This is a really rare opportunity. Let's have everyone apply for everything." That pra tice isn't typical in most city governments. Andrew Kimball, president of the New York Economic Development Corporation (EDC), said most cities hat "more of a 'Hunger Games' approach, where every agency is out on their own and running across conflict over limited dollars." Even in New York, just two offices - the EDC and the Department of Transportation - have historically done most of the city's grant applications, Joshi said. An application developed by multiple city agencies is also more likely to appeal to federal decisionmakers because it shows a higher likelihood that the money will be spent efficiently, according to Kimball. Another strategy Joshi shared: When the city has been turned down for a grant, it's met with federal Vials to understand what went wrong. "Those are extremely helpful because they help position you for the next time you apply," Joshi said. For example, last month New York won a $96 million grant to build a waterfront greenway in Upper Manhattan, but it took three tries to get that funding, according to Joshi.
