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.
