HERKIMER, N.Y. — The Village of Herkimer announced it has formally launched its Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Plan and will host a series of engagement events with Herkimer middle school and high-school students and Herkimer County Community College students.
The village was selected earlier this year as a Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) round 7 community, receiving a $10 million grant to enhance its downtown through strategic investments and projects. The village says it will announce final DRI projects in the coming months.
Herkimer is looking to build on those DRI investments and look at longer-term opportunities to revitalize underutilized sites through the BOA Plan.
