Overview

The City of Troy, and it's consultant team of Barton & Loguidice, P.C. and The Hudson Group, is undertaking a community planning project called the “North Troy Opportunity Area Study”. This project is funded by the City and by a grant from the NYS Department of State (DOS) and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

The primary objective of this planning project is to complete a Pre-Nomination Study for the DOS Brownfield Opportunity Areas (BOA) program. Pre-Nomination study is the first step in a three-step process to obtain BOA designation for a neighborhood. As the first step in the program, the Pre-Nomination Study will be a broad analysis of a 400-acre area of North Troy from 103rd Street south to the Green Island Bridge.

The main goals of the study are to define the area encompassing the BOA, establish objectives for future redevelopment, and inventory the brownfield sites within the study area.

The resulting BOA designation will not only provide a structured redevelopment plan, but will also present increased opportunities for funding and loans that may help the City implement the plan within the designated neighborhood(s).

The City envisions the creation of locally based planning objectives for North Troy, an area that at present does not have a public planning effort that can form the basis for land use and zoning decisions. Those planning objectives will be developed during the pre-nomination study's public outreach process, which will include committee participation, face to face interviews, public information meetings, and public planning charettes. The City's hope is that the goals and objectives developed during the project will guide future development proposals to best complement the vision of North Troy residents and business owners.

The project will also identify areas that need to be studied in-depth during Step 2 of the BOA. The next phase, a Nomination Study, will be solicited at the end of the project.

Base mapping and data gathering will be complete in January 2008, and the first Public Information Meeting will be hosted in April. Planning Charettes will be held on April 23rd and May 7th and the draft North Troy Opportunity Area Study is anticipated in late June 2008.
