OWEGO — The Tioga County Property Development Corporation (TCPDC) recently announced the completion of its latest revitalization project — a newly renovated historic building located at 81 North Avenue in downtown Owego.
The project highlights the successful partnership between the TCPDC and Tioga County through the leveraging of funds from the New York State Homes and Community Renewal Land Bank Initiative and Empire State Development’s RESTORE NY program, according to an Oct. 23 announcement from the TCPDC, which is part of Team Tioga.
The building features 990 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and two updated two-bedroom residential apartments on the second and third floors. The TCPDC said it worked with the State Historic Preservation Office and the Owego Historic Preservation Commission to “maintain the original historic features of the building and return it to its former glory,” the TCPDC said. “This effort showcases the TCPDC’s role in restoring dilapidated buildings and adding units of high-quality housing to Tioga County’s housing stock,” it added.
To celebrate the project, the TCPDC hosted a public open house on Oct. 24, welcoming community members to explore the space and learn more about the project’s role in ongoing downtown revitalization efforts.
