Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Designation for Village and Town

Approved by New York State!

The designation of the BOA is based on the Nomination that was prepared by the Village and Town with a $200,000 Brownfield Opportunity Area Program grant awarded to the Village of Greenwich. The Program is administered through the Department's Office of Planning, Development, and Community Infrastructure.

Key recommendations contained in the Nomination focus on projects and other actions that will become caralysts for redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization within the BOA, including redevelopment concepts for the Dunbarton Mill to improve public waterfront access and support mixed use and the revitalization of five sites within the central core of Main Street and Route 29 corridor to spur ancillary redevelopment.

State elected representatives will be notified of the designation and will be advised of the priority and preference that will be afforded to certain projects and properties within or impacted by the BOA, as well as the additional Brownfield Cleanup Program tax credit incentives.
