The NYS BOA Program is a process that enables communities to comprehensively assess existing economic and environmental conditions associated with brownfield blight and impacted areas, identify and prioritize community supported redevelopment opportunities, and attract public and private investment. The City completed a Pre-Nomination Study of the Lyell-Lake-State Street Brownfield Opportunity Area (LYLAKS BOA) in 2008 (Pre-Nomination BOA Boundary Map). The purpose of the Study was to develop viable brownfield strategies, to build on existing community assets and recent redevelopment successes, and ultimately, to create job opportunities leading to area-wide revitalization. Over 160 brownfield sites were identified within the proposed LYLAKS BOA boundary and the findings of the Study study clearly illustrated the need for more comprehensive planning towards redevelopment in the area.
