| Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) |
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) offers assistance, grants, and insight from various organizations depending on the design concepts. Developed, Natural, Public, or Working waterfronts are various concepts; Ms. Rice indicated it does not always mean brick and mortar development.
I wonder how many will show up for these meetings? The steering committee currently has public input on the development of industrial areas and the first meeting on March 1 could set the course of waterfront development in Ogdensburg. Waterfront development does not mean much if the City continues to deteriorate from within.

The author of this blog forgets very quickly.. Just a couple of years ago council had indicated that changes to what they had agreed upon in the developement should be looked at.. Powers and Nelson wanted to follow through on putting a new road in the greenbelt. The road was unnecessary in the eyes of taxpayers and many councilmen as well.. The called for a public hearing and the public that attended didnt support the road.. Mr. Powers stated only the discontent attend public hearings.. Anyway we got our new four hundred thousand dollar road we didnt need or most of us didnt want... Thats why these meetings are not forgotten Matt..
LWRP program is only for a select group of people. The fort people want both the Diamond National property and Standard Shade Roller.
Watch the city council take both properties off the tax rolls. Good luck Ogdensburg Tax Payers.
The Fort People want and want. They are turning a good thing into something that local people will turn on and quickly if they continue...
The Fort is the least of our concerns , Ogdensburg best pay attention to its street crime , rampant drug use, sex offenders living in plain sight on Ford st and other gateways and the lack of housing
Failure to address and solve those issues will result in zero hope of attracting either new business , visitors , residents or retaining our best and brightest . The Fort doesn't address ANY of those concerns at all
The city has to clean up Shade Roller and market the Diamond property.
Shade Roller and Diamond are off the tax rolls. The city will never be able to unload Shade Roller until it completes the environmental clean up.
The city also needs to begin work on cleaning up the Augsbury parcels to get them back into productive use.
We have bigger problems. With gas set to hit $5-$8 a gallon this year, no one will be able to afford to live the north country lifestyle where you have to drive miles just to access basic services. Time to get out, folks!
Our children were the smart ones. They got out years ago. Not only do we have corrupt politicans now we have a Chinese cult moving in. The latest on these groups appearing all over the US seems to center on Nuclear waste..
