Downtown Gloversville
Transforming Gloversville
Nestled in Fulton County, NY, Gloversville earned its reputation as the Glove Capital of the World, thriving on the glove and tannery industries during the 19th and 20th centuries. As these industries shifted operations overseas, the city faced challenges with vacant buildings and reduced foot traffic. However, Gloversville has committed itself to revitalization, diversification, and growth, resulting in a vibrant and walkable Core. By leveraging resources from various revitalization programs like the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), Revitalization Initiative (DRI), and Brownfield Opportunity Area Program (BOA), Gloversville is creating economic growth opportunities, providing developers with access to more grants and tax credits.
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP)
The Cayadutta Creek runs the length of the city, adjacent to the FJ&G Rail Trail, and holds potential recreational development. The Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) is in close proximity with the business district.
Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI)
The Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) is transforming the downtown corridor into a vibrant center. Learn more about the transformative projects by clicking here.
Brownfield Opportunity Area Program (BOA)
The Brownfield Opportunity Area Program (BOA) is transforming neighborhoods into catalytic properties that facilitate community investment and improvement.
