- **Event Name**: Community Conversation: Downtown Little Falls Development Opportunity
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 06:45 pm
- **Event Description**: An early-stage conversation exploring opportunities, challenges, and pathways forward.About this EventHerkimer Next, Inc. invites you to join a community conversation focused on a potential downtown redevelopment opportunity in Little Falls.The evening will explore an early-stage development concept centered on the former Adirondack Bank and Ivy Gardens buildings. The concept under discussion would combine both structures into a single project that could deliver up to 45 new market-rate rental units in the downtown core.While this concept is not yet a formal proposal and is not being presented for City approval, the discussion offers a valuable opportunity to better understand both the potential and the challenges associated with rehabilitating these long-vacant historic buildings. Due to their current condition, redevelopment would require a thoughtful mix of private investment, public funding, and tax credit tools to be viable.The program will open with remarks from Mayor Deborah Kaufman, who will speak to the City’s interest in downtown revitalization and the importance of exploring funding strategies that support long-term community benefit.Frank DuRoss will then present the preliminary redevelopment concept, including early renderings, key obstacles, and an overview of the capital required to make a project of this nature feasible. Frank brings extensive experience in adaptive reuse and downtown revitalization projects throughout the Mohawk Valley, many of which exceed the scale of what is being discussed for Little Falls. He will also share lessons learned from Utica’s downtown revival and why Little Falls shares many of the same foundational strengths.The final presentation will be given by Jonathan Tower, Founder and CEO of Arctaris Impact Investors. Since 2009, Arctaris has built a national network of private investors focused on generating social impact in lower-income communities through housing, small business growth, and community infrastructure. Jonathan will share examples from comparable communities and discuss what makes revitalization efforts successful and sustainable over time.Members of the City Council will be invited, along with community leaders and residents interested in practical, long-term solutions that address both our aging landmark buildings and the need for high-quality rental housing that serves the full spectrum of our community - from recent graduates and working families to senior citizens. The discussion will focus on sharing information, examining early-stage concepts, and understanding community needs, rather than advancing any formal proposal or action.Event DetailsTuesday, February 10?
