The Village of Lyons Falls has been designated a New York State Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA). Prior planning and feasibility studies identified the mill site as a “key opportunity” for redevelopment that could support commercial, industrial, hospitality, or recreation-based uses.

“This site represents a transformational opportunity for Lyons Falls and Lewis County,” Joanne Witt, executive director of Naturally Lewis, said in the announcement. “We are seeking development concepts that align with the community’s vision and build on the significant public and private investment already made to prepare this site for future use.”
Those interested can submit expressions of interest by Feb. 27, and site visits are available by appointment. Full details, including submission requirements and available resources, can be found at www.naturallylewis.com
