ESD to issue RFP for purchase and redevelopment of 325 acres of former MOUNT MCGREGOR facility
Publish Date : 11-May-2015
Empire State Development (ESD) has announced it will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure and redevelop nearly 325 acres of the former Mount McGregor Correctional Facility sited in Wilton, New York.
Mount McGregor was shut down in July last year as part of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's plan to save New York taxpayers multi-million dollars through the consolidation of the state's correctional facilities based on a reducing inmate population.
ESD has made the RFP available on its website at esd.ny.gov/CorporateInformation/RFPs.html on Tuesday, May 5 with responses due Tuesday, 7th July, 2015.
Plans for redevelopment should provide maximum financial benefit to the Towns of Corinth, Moreau, and Wilton, Saratoga County and the State.
ESD President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky, said, "We have worked closely with local and community stakeholders to issue an RFP that will provide the opportunity to generate new employment and private investment in Saratoga County. We look forward to seeing responses that propose uses for the property that will create new jobs and stimulate economic activity in the local municipality and throughout the region."
Office of General Services Commissioner RoAnn Destito added, "Finding new uses for state properties that are no longer needed is an important component of Governor Cuomo’s plan to drive financial benefit for state taxpayers by creating jobs and putting property back on the tax rolls. Saratoga County is a burgeoning economic hub that attracts people for business and pleasure, making this RFP a unique opportunity for the right project."
