$10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative Award for Hamlets of Roxbury and Grand Gorge
-
The hamlets of Roxbury and Grand Gorge, located within the Town of Roxbury, are looking to expand their economy by creating functional spaces and opportunities that will retain current residents through jobs and living accommodations and encourage new residents and visitors by investing in affordable housing, developing businesses in hospitality and tourism as well as improving infrastructure.
The Hamlets of Roxbury and Grand Gorge have been jointly awarded $10 million in state funding and investments to revitalize their downtown neighborhoods and generate new opportunities for long-term growth following the local planning process. They join Johnson City, Endicott, Hornell, Owego, Watkins Glen and Elmira, which were Southern Tier winners in the first six rounds of the DRI.
Roxbury and Grand Gorge will begin the process of developing a Strategic Investment Plan to revitalize its downtown with up to $300,000 in planning funds from the $10 million DRI grant. A Local Planning Committee made up of municipal representatives, community leaders and other stakeholders will lead the effort, supported by a team of private sector experts and state planners. The Strategic Investment Plan will examine local assets and opportunities to identify economic development, transportation, housing, and community projects that align with each community's vision for downtown revitalization and that are poised for implementation. The Strategic Investment Plan will guide the investment of DRI grant funds in revitalization projects that will advance the communities’ vision for their downtowns and that can leverage and expand upon the state's $10 million investment. Plans for the DRI's seventh round will be complete in 2024.
The Town will be posting and accepting applications from those wishing to work on the Local Planning Committee. Applications will be posted here. For more information on the Grand Gorge Roxbury DRI visit https://www.grandgorgeroxburydri.com/
The Town of Roxbury is putting together a new Comprehensive Plan.
With its distinctive blend of history and bucolic beauty, the Town of Roxbury in New York’s Catskill Mountains holds a unique appeal for residents and visitors.
In contrast to today’s fast-paced lifestyle, Roxbury encourages us to slow down. Our township’s rural character is found in our picturesque valleys, farms, and mountaintops. The Hamlet of Roxbury features idyllic postcard charm, with its mix of historic buildings, churches, businesses, our stunning Kirkside Park, and cultural venues. The Town of Roxbury also includes the hamlet of Grand Gorge and the pastoral Denver/Vega Valley.
In Roxbury, we experience Nature year-round, enjoying hiking, birding, fishing, biking, golfing, skiing, and more. Roxbury is also the perfect place to indulge in the simple pleasure of relaxing on the porch and chatting with old friends and new.
