Paint Downtown Gloversville Purple
Southern Adirondack Wine and Food Festival

Paint Downtown Gloversville Purple

​

Gloversville is preparing to "Paint Downtown Purple" from June 1 through June 6, 2026, to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. This new initiative is a collaborative effort between the Fulton County Center for Regional Growth’s (CRG) Gloversville Downtown Development Specialist and the Fulton Montgomery County Regional Chamber of Commerce.

​

A Week of Awareness and Community Action

Throughout the first week of June, residents, property owners, and downtown businesses are encouraged to "dress up" the city in purple. Participating shops and eateries will feature purple-themed window displays, unique retail specials, and purple-inspired food and drink creations.

​

“This initiative is a simple yet powerful way to beautify our downtown while supporting a cause that impacts so many families in our community,” noted Jennifer Donovan, Gloversville Downtown Development Specialist. “We want to show the heart of Gloversville by turning our streets purple for the week".

​

Culmination at the Southern Adirondack Wine & Food Festival

The week-long event concludes on Saturday, June 6, during the Southern Adirondack Wine & Food Festival, which is sponsored by the Gloversville Recreation Commission. Festival attendees are encouraged to wear purple in solidarity and can make direct donations at the event.

​

Representatives from the Chamber and CRG will be visiting local businesses to distribute flyers featuring QR codes, allowing patrons to make seamless digital donations directly to the Alzheimer's Association.

How You Can Help

Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, with the Northeastern New York Chapter directly serving Gloversville and Fulton County. Community members can participate in several ways:

  •  

    Visit Downtown: Support local businesses between June 1–6 and look for their purple specials.

  •  

    Wear Purple: Show your support by wearing purple throughout the week, especially during the Wine & Food Festival on June 6.

  •  

    Make a Donation: Use the QR codes found on official flyers at local businesses or donate online at the official event page.

For more information, community members can contact Jennifer Donovan at the Fulton County Center for Regional Growth or Nicole Walrath-VanAlstyne at the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Gloversville Marks Major Milestone with Ribbon-Cutting of Four DRI Projects

City celebrates transformation of public spaces and renewed momentum 

​

Gloversville, N.Y. - In May 2025, the City of Gloversville hosted a celebratory ribbon-cutting to mark the completion of four key projects under New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). The event brought together city officials, state representatives, local business leaders, and community members to celebrate transformative improvements to Gloversville’s downtown core.

​

The DRI ribbon-cutting recognized the completion of the following efforts:

  • Schine Memorial Hall renovation: The third floor of the historic Schine building was refurbished to house a museum and offer artistic/co-working space for local creators. 

  • St. Thomas Square activation: An underutilized lot was transformed into a vibrant public space with amenities for the farmers’ market, pedestrian areas, and landscaping. 

  • Trail Station Park enhancements: The park was expanded and upgraded, with new amenities that include a splash pad, pavilion, restrooms, trails, picnic areas, and landscaping.

  • Downtown Piazza creation: A formerly vacant lot on South Main Street was reimagined into a public plaza suitable for performances, food trucks, and community events, with infrastructure to manage stormwater naturally.

  • ​

These four projects were launched under a $10 million DRI grant awarded to Gloversville.

​

In addition, Gloversville is nearing completion of Glove City Lofts, a mixed-income residential development spanning 75 units, which will further activate downtown housing.
