(Ossining, NY) – The Village of Ossining has issued a request for proposal (RFP) from a qualified developer for the adaptive reuse of a National Register-listed historic building built in 1908, which sits on a Village-owned parcel located at 200 Main Street, situated at the intersection of Main Street and NYS Route 9 (locally Highland Avenue). The Village is desirous of a developer with a good track record, sound financial backing, and commitment to implementing creative, quality development in a timely manner. The Village is open to working collaboratively to support the long-term financial viability of the proposed project by leveraging grant funding.
Goals and Objectives
- Establish this historic site as a destination gateway to Ossining’s Main Street and Riverfront corridor.
- Further catalyze economic growth and vibrancy of this rapidly transforming community.
- Leverage the significant local and state investment that is being made in Ossining’s downtown, waterfront district with the development of a unique, experiential retail establishment.
In November 2021, the Village of Ossining was selected as a recipient of the New York State Regional Economic Development Council’s highly competitive $10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). Ossining is currently embarking on a six-month planning process that will link the community’s vision, goals, and strategies to specific projects that have the potential to revitalize Downtown Ossining. The identification of a private sector developer, or sponsor, for the adaptive rehabilitation and reuse of 200 Main Street will help greatly to position this project as a compelling opportunity for DRI funding.
