▪ Member of the public prioritized projects that they think should receive DRI Funding

Community Engagement Event 4:

Final Presentation of the Glens Falls DRI Plan

February 23, 20176:30 pm - 8:30 pmHeritage Hall at the Glens Falls Civic Center



Criteria for Selecting Priority Projects

Priority Projects should:

▪ Align with existing local and regional plans. ▪ Have support from the public and City officials. ▪ Provide community and economic benefits. ▪ Have catalytic and transformative potential. ▪ Capacity to leverage private or public sources of funds. ▪ Cost and feasibility

Additional issues to consider when evaluating potential DRI projects:

▪ What (specifically) will the DRI funding be used for? ▪ Is there an alternative state or federal grant that could fund the project? ▪ What ongoing operating arrangements are required to ensure that the project is successful? ▪ Is there market demand, economic feasibility, or site control issues?



Determining DRI Funded Projects v. Projects Funded with Other Sources

Projects recommended for DRI Funding were determined, using:

▪ Input from the public ▪ Local Planning Committee Prioritization ▪ City priorities ▪ NYSDOS guidance

If a project is not recommended for DRI funding, that doesn’t mean it’s not a priority. Reasons a project may not receive DRI funding:

▪ Doesn’t meet NYSDOS guidance for the DRI program ▪ Site control issues limit feasibility ▪ Other funding sources are readily available ▪ Project may not be ready to be implemented in the short-medium term

3A: Assist SUNY Adirondack in locating culinary school DowntownProject Type: Program

Cost Estimate: $500,000

SUNY Adirondack is a valuable resource to the region and partnering with SUNY to provide a facility for their culinary program would bring students Downtown, where they could patronize local businesses, rent apartments, attend community events and potentially find work opportunities.

▪ Provide capital funding to assist SUNY with capital funds to offset the cost of tenant improvements

Facility would occupy up to 12,000 SF of space for classrooms, working kitchen, and restaurant

Facility would also require interconnected TV monitors for culinary demonstrations, connections to the campus network and phone system, a secure data system for credit card transactions, and comprehensive utility support for full kitchen and bakeshop operations.

3 miles from SUNY Adirondack Campus to Downtown Glens Falls




3B: Expand Argyle Cheese Farm to Pruyns IslandProject Type: Program


The Argyle Cheese Factory expansion project will have a two phase approach at the Pruyns Island location. Phase 2 funding of $125,000 is being requested of the Glens Falls Downtown Revitalization Initiative to provide for the needed retail, product/equipment/material storage and administrative office space. This location will meet the Argyle Cheese Farmer needs for not only the near future, but beyond, as sales are expected to grow ten-fold over the next five years.





3A Assist SUNY Adirondack in Locating Culinary School Downtown3B Expand Argyle Cheese Farm to Pruyns Island


3C Partner with Local Instituions and Businesses to Create Workforce Training and Apprenticeship Programs





4A: Install green infrastructure projectsProject Type: Capital


Green infrastructure manages stormwater to control flooding and improve water quality. It offers a range of other environmental, economic, public health, and social benefits.

Through this project, the City of Glens Falls would acquire two properties at the corner of School Street and South Street. The City would use this key site to construct a public green space containing a rain garden, walkways with plantings and public art, and surface parking on porous paving.

4B: Install High Speed Broadband throughout DowntownProject Type: Capital


Plan and implement high speed broadband throughout downtown area.

Access to high-speed internet is a critical need for business operations. Currently, available broadband speeds are too low (1-10 Mb/sec) to attract new businesses to the City. One way to make Glens Falls more desirable for office use would be to bring fiber-optic capabilities into the downtown area. Fiber-optic internet carries a significant advantage above regular high-speed broadband with increased consistency, speed, and bandwidth.




4C: Improve infrastructure and streetscaping on Park Street, School Street, Elm Street and Exchange Place

Project Type: Capital

Cost Estimate: $1,750,000Some streetscape improvements have been made in recent years, but other areas still have limited accessibility to pedestrians and cyclists, landscaping, lighting, and street furniture. This project proposes streetscape improvements in the following areas.

Park Street:

▪ Underground utilities, improve sidewalks, plant street trees and install bioswales, install wifi kiosks, install bike racks, add shared bike lanes, improve crosswalks and construct bulb-outs.

Elm Street:

▪ Improve sidewalks, plant street trees and install bioswales, install wifi kiosks, install bike racks, add shared bike lanes, improve crosswalks and construct bulb-outs.

School Street:

▪ Improve sidewalks, plant street trees and install bioswales, install bike racks, add shared bike lanes, improve crosswalks.

Exchange Place:

▪ Shared street concept, improved parking layout, plant street trees and install bioswales, install wifi kiosks, install bike racks.

5A: Increase capacity of the Film Industry in Glens FallsProject Type: Capital


The Adirondack Film Festival had a successful inaugural season in 2016 thanks to local institutions hosting screenings, panels, and special events. Participating venues, including the Charles R. Wood Theater, the Queensbury Hotel, Crandall Library and 190 Grille and Cinema.

This project has two distinct components, as follows:

Component 1: Expand the Adirondack Film Festival

▪ DRI Funds: $75,000 for capital improvements

▪ Other Funding: $60,000 for staffing and marketing

Component 2: Create a Glens Falls Film Commission

▪ DRI Funds: $50,000 for recruitment and promotion as a filming location

5B: Create an Art District and Public Arts TrailProject Type: Capital


The Arts District of Glens Falls is an established non-profit organization whose mission is to link the arts and cultural organizations of Glens Falls through ongoing marketing and collaboration and a physical and virtual Arts Trail.

The Arts District is requesting $75,000 in order to complete the Arts Trail project. Their costs total $208,150, and they have received $133,150 to date from private donations, public investments and in-kind pledges.




5C: Fund Expansion of the Queensbury HotelProject Type: Capital


The Queensbury Hotel is the only hotel located in Downtown Glens Falls, and currently lacks sufficient conference meeting space to book various organizational meetings, state and governmental associations such as health care providers, tourism association, and medical conferences. This project will substantially increase the number of conferences, trade shows, corporate meetings and overall functionality of the Hotel by expanding the present capacity of the Hotel’s meeting, conference space to nearly 400 persons (expansion of 3,000 sf representing one hundred percent increase over its current space).

Expansion is estimated to increase the Hotel’s revenue base upwards of $700,000, and could increase employment by as many as 5-10 full time employees, and 10-15 full time seasonal employees.




5D: Create a Downtown Marketing and Branding Strategy, and implement a Downtown Wayfinding Signage ProgramProject Type: Capital


The Downtown Branding Program includes the design of physical, web-based, and social media graphics and strategies, to reflect and communicate Glens Falls’ retail, cultural, and community assets and activities. A dedicated team will develop a clear and recognizable identity and a unified approach across all platforms in order to position the City for greater economic opportunity and successful future partnerships between the public and private sectors.

Component 1: Develop a Downtown Marketing and Branding Strategy

Component 2: Design a Wayfinding System for Downtown

Component 3: Implementation of the Wayfinding System

Component 4: Ongoing Implementation of the Marketing and Branding Strategy

Vision of the Community Competitive Opportunity

Perception of Consumers and Visitors

5E: Fund Wood Theater Capital ImprovementsProject Type: Capital


The Wood Theater is a year-round home for the performing arts and a vital component of growth and success in downtown Glens Falls. In 2016, the theater had nearly 200 public performances, a substantial increase over recent years. Improvements to the building will help the Wood Theater continue to grow.

This project would install a catwalk to improve safety for production crews. Currently, the production company builds scaffolding and uses a ladder to make lighting adjustments. Installing a permanent catwalk would improve the safety of lighting technicians while hanging lights for individual productions.
