In 2000, a community-minded group of Grand Gorge residents formed the Grand Gorge Community Action Group (GGCAG) to initiate Community Improvement Projects and revitalize the village. In partnership with the Town of Roxbury, the GGCAG has installed beautiful signage at all four village entrances. The community playground and ball field at the Civic Center have been restored. In the milder months, you’ll see flower boxes abloom along Main Street, and during the holidays, lighted Christmas wreaths.
The Civic Center, restored by the Town of Roxbury and Grand Gorge residents, is a keystone of village activity, hosting senior meals, community events and parties, and village meetings. The Halloween and Christmas parties and community breakfasts held there are growing each year and warmly anticipated by the whole community.
As part of the Town-sponsored Main Street Revitilization project, funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission and the New York Main Street Program, six village business district facades will be re-designed to recreate the look and feel of Grand Gorge decades ago while creating a visually appealing experience for residents, shoppers, and visitors. The GGCAC is also organizing more streetscape enhancements, including banners, landscaping, benches, and signage.
