Paris Park Nears Completion
Construction is nearing completion for the reconfigured Paris Park, which provides an environmentally friendly, convenient centralized parking area for visitors to Downtown.
The project involved reconstruction of the Locust Street streetscape and construction of a 100 space, shared-use parking lot. Stormwater emanating from the paved areas and the rooftops of the Masonic Template and Strand Theater will be diverted from the Village’s combined sewer system, and conveyed to ‘green infrastructure’ techniques designed to capture, treat, and infiltrate stormwater runoff. Green infrastructure includes: bioretention filters, porous pavement, and stormwater street trees/planters.
The Village was successful in securing $725,000 in funds from the NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation Green Innovation Grant Program.
