Montgomery County will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, May 24 at 5:55 pm at the Legislative Chambers, Montgomery County Office Bldg, 64 Broadway, Fonda, NY to discuss the consolidated funding application for BOA nomination planning funds. The Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Program was established by the Superfund/Brownfield Law in October 2003 and later revised by the Brownfield Reform Law of 2008. The Superfund/Brownfield legislation amended the General Municipal Law (Article 18-C), which authorizes municipalities to pursue redevelopment and revitalization of economically distressed areas, by adding Section 970-r, to create the BOA Program.
The Program provides resources to New York communities to establish effective revitalization strategies that return dormant and blighted parcels into productive, catalytic properties. BOA program information can be found here: https://dos.ny.gov/brownfield-redevelopment
