Reimagine Webster Project

North End Business District Master Plan
The Village of Webster received funding from the New York State Department of State Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) program to develop a vision plan for the North End Business District.
​
Brownfield Opportunity Areas are areas within a community whose economic vitality has been negatively affected by the presence of vacant, underutilized and dilapidated properties. These properties are sometimes impacted by environmental contamination (or the perception of contamination) which has impeded redevelopment, resulting in a lack of  investment and in some cases, deteriorated physical and/or aesthetic conditions. 

Nomination Study:

The vision plan developed for the Webster North End BOA will: 
  1. Include a detailed inventory and analysis of existing conditions within the study area;
  2. Identify a shared vision for the overall area and strategic redevelopment sites which will be identified with community feedback; and 
  3. Incorporate recommendations for the reuse and revitalization of targeted sites as well as public spaces and corridors.  ​
When investments are made to the public realm and underutilized sites are remediated and redeveloped, these properties can increase surrounding property values, improve public health outcomes and incentivize additional investment.
The Study Area:

The study area, located in the Village of Webster and Town of Webster in Monroe County is the historic industrial hub of the community and includes a mix of residential, industrial, and commercial uses.

​The study area is made up of approximately 569 acres and 227 parcels, with a large swath of underutilized parcels on the east side of the study area, which are part of the historic XEROX campus.
