KINGSTON – A 70-acre area with over 25 brownfield sites located in the Rondout Creek waterfront area of the City of Kingston has been designed by the state as a Brownfield Opportunity Area.
The area includes frontage on both the Rondout Creek and Hudson River and contains a mix of maritime, industrial, retail and residential development parcels.
The designation will help the city develop strategies to revitalize neighborhoods affected by dormant and blighted properties. Projects in the area will be given priority status for grants and the project developers may access additional Brownfield Cleanup Program tax credit incentives.
The objectives for this project include brownfield remediation; mixed-use redevelopment of sites with waterfront oriented uses that will create jobs and taxable developments while maintaining strong connections to the nearby upland neighborhoods and increasing public access to and along the waterfront.
Planning activities for the area were financed by $474,300 in Brownfield Opportunity Area Program grants.
