🏠 A NEW BEGINNING FOR 20 BELLE AVENUE!

There’s something special about small-village pride — neighbors who care about their community, local leaders who believe in its future, and the commitment to see vacant properties become part of the community again. ❤️

The Franklin County Land Bank is excited to announce the purchase of 20 Belle Avenue in Chateaugay, NY! 🎉

This property has been vacant and abandoned for many years. We’re now working toward giving this property a new beginning, with plans to demolish the existing structure and replace it with a new 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home. 🏡

Our goal is to create a quality home that will provide an opportunity for workforce housing while helping strengthen the neighborhood and contribute to the continued revitalization of Chateaugay.

We are incredibly grateful to the Village of Chateaugay and the Franklin County Legislature for their support and partnership. Projects like this are possible because communities come together and believe in what their future can look like.

Small village. Big pride. New possibilities. ❤️🏡

We can’t wait to watch 20 Belle Avenue transform and to share the journey with you!

This property has been vacant and abandoned for more than a decade following a devastating fire. Now, we have the opportunity to give this property a fresh start and bring a new home back to the community. 🏡

Our goal is to demolish the existing structure and replace it with a new 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home, creating much-needed quality workforce housing in Franklin County.

A huge THANK YOU to the Town of Vermontville and the Franklin County Legislature for supporting the Land Bank and partnering with us on this important project. We truly appreciate your support! ❤️

We’re excited to see this property transformed and look forward to sharing updates with you along the way!

One more vacant property transformed. One more opportunity for a family to call Franklin County home. 🏡
