RFP for waterfront development opportunity in USA

Dock Street Waterfront District will be located on Lake Champlain. The project will enhance activation of the waterfront, support tourism by creating a destination, and provide a significant amenity to Plattsburgh residents. The city aims to create an economically vibrant waterfront and take advantage of views of Lake Champlain, existing open spaces and kayak launch, Amtrak Access, marinas, and future home of the Plattsburgh Farmer’s and Crafter’s Market.
The project site is +/-10 acre parcel at 2 Dock Street in the heart of the City’s waterfront adjacent to city parkland and 2 marinas with a total over 200 slips. The subject parcel is available for sale or lease to the most qualified individual or entity that can best meet the City’s development vision and goals for the waterfront. The current condition of the parcel is restored brownfield, approved by the State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Permitted uses of the land include hotel/motel; eating and drinking establishments; retail; recreation and entertainment; personal and business services.
The City will contribute a newly paved parking lot with 341 spaces, lighting and landscaping; sewer and stormwater infrastructure on site; power on site. State funding is allocated for aspects of this project.
