Final downtown meeting set for Wednesday

WATKINS GLEN--The final public engagement event for the state $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative is set for Wednesday, March 7.
The meeting will be held at the Watkins Glen Clute Park Community Center from 6-8 p.m. After this meeting is conducted, planning officials will draft a comprehensive plan detailing the locations and projects of the downtown grant.
The area selected for revitalization in the village of Watkins Glen is a walkable, compact area connecting the downtown and a transitional business and residential area to employers. It benefits from local amenities like the Seneca Lake waterfront, wine trails, arts scene, state park, and an internationally recognized racetrack. The village plans to address issues in the downtown that detract from these amenities, bringing Watkins Glen into the 21st century. The community will use the Downtown Revitalization Initiative to leverage progressive development codes and recent investments in the Watkins Glen International race track, to create a sustainable environment for a year-round innovative and prosperous economy.
