The Newburgh Waterfront Project is one of the most important and vital undertakings for the City of Newburgh in recent history. This public-private initiative between the City of Newburgh and LeylandAlliance LLC, of Tuxedo, New York is expected to revitalize the downtown and provide a mix of housing, commercial, retail and open spaces near the waterfront. Approximately 30 acres of vacant lands will be redeveloped.
The first stage the design charrette, conducted Jan. 31 - Feb. 6, 2007 by a team of architects and planners led by Andres Duany, principal of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ), a highly respected architectural firm in the vanguard of the neighborhood-based planning movement known as New Urbanism.
