1.0 PRESENTATION
Chris Round of Chazen Companies presented to the Board a proposal regarding the potential
redevelopment of the Ciba-Geigy Brownfield Site. There will be a public workshop to discuss
the economic and community revitalization opportunities within this South Queensbury
Neighborhood on March 20, 2013 at 7:00pm at the South Queensbury Fire House, 409 Dix
Avenue. At that time, a presentation will be made followed by participants breaking into small
groups where they will have an opportunity to participate in a planning exercise.
There is a committee of Town representatives, including the Supervisor and Councilman Strough
as well as staff and representatives from the Planning Board, local residents, etc. We will use
those folks to bounce ideas off, craft a series of solutions or alternatives. Through this process
that will take about nine to twelve months we will identify some specific redevelopment
opportunities, come up with some physical plans for those things and talk about implementation
measures and how we might fund those things.

Residents, business owners, and all other interested parties are welcome and strongly encouraged
to attend this important community event.
