City of Norwich BOA Plan

The City of Norwich is seeking proposals from consultants (Consultant) that are qualified to develop a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Plan for a 500-acre industrial and commercial area of the city. The plan will help foster reuse and cleanup of vacant and potential brownfield sites, spur investment, create new jobs, improve quality of life, provide needed housing for seniors and new younger populations, and promote new access to the waterfront for outdoor recreation. The BOA Plan will provide an in-depth and thorough description and analysis of existing conditions, opportunities, and reuse potential for properties located in the proposed BOA with an emphasis on the identification and reuse potential of strategic sites that are catalysts for revitalization and culminate in designation of the area by the Secretary of State.

The City of Norwich was awarded $180,000 through the NYS Department of State BOA Program through Round 14 of the 2024 Consolidated Funding Application.  The total budget for the project is $200,000.
