PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Village of Philmont received a state award from the NYS Department of State (Contract C1001687) in 2019 to advance the Summit Lake and Its Watercourse Brownfield Opportunity Area Designated BOA (SLWBOA) through several pre-development activities. These include a Zoning Analyses and Recommendations project to recommend zoning updates to local laws to support the development of proposed uses for BOA strategic sites and SLWBOA subareas. Preliminary draft of new or revisions of existing local laws, regulations, standards, and other zoning updates will be recommended to assist development in the SLWBOA including the Conservation District, Hamlet I, Hamlet II, Hamlet III, Mill District, Mill District II, Rural, Rural Low Density, and General Business zoning districts. These recommendations will be made to a Zoning Committee appointed by the Village to review and adopt zoning updates.

- Model Local Laws to Increase Resilience. New Yorkers are at increased risk from the effects of climate change and extreme-weather events. Recognizing this risk, the Department of State worked with the Department of Environmental Conservation and other partners to create model local laws to help local governments be more resilient to sea-level rise, storm surge, and flooding. Cities, towns, and villages are invited to adapt model local laws to meet the resilience needs of the community.
