HUDSON FALLS ---The village is using money from a Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program grant, awarded by the Department of State in 2004, to help fund the first phase of a planning study to develop a revitalization strategy, and is seeking community input. The program was created to help communities with several brownfield sites, usually old industrial sites, close together.

According to a New York state government Web site, grant money and technical assistance are available to eligible local governments and community-based organizations for developing site assessments and plans for brownfields remediation.

The idea is that revitalization of the whole area is more efficient and cost-effective than several individual projects.
