BFJ Planning updated the City of Peekskill’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), a plan for the future development and redevelopment of the City’s Hudson River waterfront. The City last adopted an LWRP in 2004, and an update is needed to reflect existing conditions, outline policies that will guide future planning and incorporate a waterfront Blue Plan that will focus on issues and opportunities to increase the diversity of uses beyond the water’s edge. Peekskill’s waterfront has seen significant investment in parks, pedestrian amenities and cultural facilities, and new businesses are beginning to locate along the river. Meanwhile, the City’s downtown business district is transforming with live/work artist lofts, residential development and new stores and restaurants. The LWRP update focused on ways to connect these two important areas of Peekskill to maximize economic development and quality-of-life for City residents.
