🎉NEW YORK STATE PLANNING AWARD SPOTLIGHTS CITY’S HILLSIDE AS NEWBURGH ENTERS ITS NEXT CHAPTER OF GROWTH🎉

The City of Newburgh’s Hillside Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) Nomination Study has received the 2026 Heissenbuttel Award from the New York Planning Federation, a statewide honor recognizing excellence in urban planning.

Completed in 2025 by the City of Newburgh Planning and Development Department, the Hillside BOA Nomination Study was shaped through substantial community outreach and focused on the redevelopment potential of urban renewal lands known as the “Hillside.” The study now serves as a blueprint for future redevelopment grounded in community input and long-term planning.

The Newburgh Hillside BOA District was established as a result of the study. Development projects within the district are now eligible for enhanced brownfield tax credits to support cleanup and redevelopment. Already, three large-scale development projects have been accepted into the program — a direct result of the City’s work to position the East End for transformative reinvestment.

The award comes at a pivotal moment for the City. With $500 million in public and private development activity underway across Newburgh, the Hillside represents the next major phase of that momentum — a long-anticipated opportunity to bring new investment, redevelopment, and neighborhood revitalization to a critical part of the city.

💦CITY OF NEWBURGH HIGHLIGHTS THE PROGRESS AND INVESTMENT IN THE CITY’S WATER SYSTEM DURING THE 2026 AMERICAN WATER WORKS ASSOCIATION’S (AWWA) DRINKING WATER WEEK💦

During the 2026 American Water Works Association (AWWA) Drinking Water Week, the City of Newburgh Water Department is hosting an open house to provide the public with a unique opportunity to tour the City’s critical drinking water supply facilities and to meet the dedicated municipal workers that work hard to produce the City’s high-quality drinking water.

Quality drinking water provides the backbone for the health, safety and economic vitality of a city. Keeping water systems reliable for both drinking water and fire protection is a round-the-clock commitment and significant expense.

City Manager and Commissioner of Public Works, Jason Morris, PE said, “The City’s water infrastructure is usually out of sight and out of mind, but these assets are critical for protecting public health, providing fire protection for City buildings and to ensure the steady growth and revitalization of our City’s economy. We know the investments we make today will allow future generations to prosper, just as we benefit and build on the infrastructure investments made by our predecessors.”

The City of Newburgh’s open house will take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at 493 Little Britain Road, Newburgh, NY 12550. Come explore the facility, ask questions, and discover how your water is managed to meet the highest standards.
