Brockport NY Forward

As a canal community with origins as a port on the Erie Canal dating back to the 1800s, Brockport's NY Forward aims to transform the historic downtown corridor and Erie Canal waterfront of this vibrant village into an accessible destination for all. Revitalization in Brockport focuses on four key areas: expanding diverse and affordable housing options; implementing universal design principles for inclusive streets and public spaces; enhancing Erie Canal recreation and dining opportunities; and strengthening the unique historic character of the downtown through façade improvements and public art.

The proposed projects will build upon Brockport's existing assets as a certified Pro-Housing community, Erie Canal town, college town, and hub for neighboring municipalities. Through public, private, and non-profit investments, Brockport seeks to be a premier inclusive waterfront community that works for residents of all ages and abilities, while attracting visitors and fostering economic growth throughout the region.
