Committee Meeting #4

Glens Falls City Hall, 42 Ridge Street, Glens Falls, NY

East End Rising is a community-driven initiative dedicated to enhancing the vitality, safety, and quality of life in the East End neighborhood. The July meeting will cover conversations with property owners, the conditions of each strategic site, and next steps for the project.

This fourth Committee meeting follows the first public workshop event for the project which took place in May 2026 in the form of a “Presentation Night” where community members heard from the project team about the Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) program, a group of students about their ideas for the revitalization of a property in the study area, and updates on the progress being made for the revitalization of East Field Park.

The BOA Program focuses on strategic revitalization planning in areas that contain a concentration of vacant, underutilized, abandoned, and suspected brownfield sites. The program is designed to engage community members in creating a vision for the future of the study area and presents opportunities to gain access to additional funding to support revitalization efforts.

Residents, business owners, and community stakeholders are invited to attend and listen in on this working Committee meeting. After the Committee concludes, the public will have an opportunity to comment.

Public Workshop #1

Rock Hill Bake House, 18 Curran Lane, Glens Falls, NY

The East End Rising project invited community members to participate in its first public workshop, which took place on Monday, June 1st from 5:30-7:00PM at Rock Hill Bakery. The kickoff event took the form of a “Presentation Night,” offering a unique and interactive platform for local voices to shape the conversation around the future of the East End.

Community members were encouraged to attend and listen to presentations on various topics of community interest. Presentations explored neighborhood priorities, local history, economic opportunities, housing, infrastructure, arts and culture, and other issues relevant to the East End. Each presentation was approximately 7-10 minutes, followed by a 3–5-minute question-and-answer session to encourage dialogue.

The workshop was designed to foster an open and inclusive environment where residents, business owners, and stakeholders could contribute their perspectives and help inform the direction of the East End Rising project. Input gathered during the session helped guide future planning efforts and identified key themes, opportunities, and challenges within the community.
