Overview
Understanding that companies are increasingly seeking to relocate and invest in vibrant, walkable downtowns in an effort to attract and retain a talented workforce, Governor Cuomo launched the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI), a $100 million effort to improve the vitality of urban centers across New York State.
Recognizing that Downtown Plattsburgh is Clinton County’s gathering place, the City of Plattsburgh was afforded the opportunity and privilege to become a Phase 1 DRI community, securing over $10 million dollars for economic investment.
The intent of the DRI is to advance downtown revitalization through transformative housing, economic development, transportation and community projects that will attract and retain residents, visitors and businesses - creating dynamic neighborhoods where tomorrow’s workforce will want to live, work, and raise a family.
