GLOVERSVILLE Members of the Common Council were noncommittal about a proposal from Mayor Vincent DeSantis to pursue possible state grant funds to address the Risedorph Tannery site that if secured would require a 10 percent match from the city.
DeSantis during the Dec. 8 Common Council meeting broached the subject of the former Risedorph tannery site on West Eighth Avenue which has reportedly come up while city officials gathered public input as part of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program development process.
The same steering committee is working to develop both the city’s grant funded LWRP plan and citywide Brownfields Assessment, which respectively involve water and land use assessments to develop plans for the redevelopment of sites that once complete, open additional grant funding opportunities.
