The Former School Project - Newport, NY
Brownfield Cleanup in Newport, NY (Herkimer County)
The former school is located at 7456 East Street in Newport (Herkimer County). The site is 1.10 acres and is occupied by a vacant 25,584 sq ft building that was constructed in 1928 and abandoned in 1990. The building is surrounded by paved parking, drive areas, and open grass areas. The building is dilapidated with trash and collapsing interior walls and ceilings. This site is identified by the Herkimer County Tax Assessor as SBL 094.47.2-8.2.
The redevelopment of this site will be determined with community input with the priority being the removal of the existing hazard and blight to the community.
