The project, which Reed said would reuse the existing building footprint rather than add a large new addition, is scheduled for a city planning‑board review Oct. 1. Reed said the average monthly rent would be about $13.50 per square foot. \"Our new proposal is 22 apartments and about 500 square feet of commercial space,\" Reed said.

The IDA’s staff and board discussed next steps and application timing. Katie, who chaired the IDA meeting, asked Reed to submit a final IDA application after planning‑board approval and said staff would publish the application and set a public hearing at a future IDA meeting. \"So, I'll work with Jeff to make sure that your application is final and complete once you have your planning board approval,\" Katie said.

Board members and city speakers raised issues that Reed said he has addressed or will address before applying. Those included exterior security and site lighting, interim site maintenance, and nearby street and neighborhood conditions. A city official at the meeting said the site had been a long‑standing spot where people experiencing homelessness camped and that cleanup and security coordination with police had been part of the developer’s early work.

Reed described steps he has already taken since acquiring the property in April — securing buildings, doing facade repairs and roof work, and removing squatters — and said the team had pivoted from a larger earlier plan to the current 22‑unit scheme after cost and structural considerations. He said the design aims to reuse much of the existing frame and to add green space and parking adjustments to meet zoning requirements.

Board members asked Reed to provide the final planning‑board approvals, refined rent schedules and a complete IDA application so staff can calculate and publish the required notice for taxing jurisdictions and schedule the IDA public hearing. The board did not take a formal vote on benefits or approvals at the Sept. 16 meeting; staff and the applicant will return with a completed application and materials for the next IDA agenda.

Background: IDA staff noted related downtown and neighborhood initiatives — including Restore NY and Brownfield Opportunity Area planning and available EPA Brownfields assessment funding — that could be relevant to redevelopment of nearby parcels. Reed said he expected interest from local retail tenants for the small commercial space but did not identify tenants at the meeting.

The IDA indicated it will post the completed application on its website and hold a public hearing as part of a future meeting; no tax incentives or pilot agreement had been granted at the Sept. 16 session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Glens Falls - IDA-LDC - 9 16 2025 - 8:00am","oneSentenceSummary","Developer Morris Reed told the Glens Falls Industrial Development Agency on Sept. 16 that he plans to convert an existing warehouse complex in the city’s East End into 22 apartments with about 500 square feet of first‑floor commercial space.","taxTitle","Glens Falls City, Warren County, New York","taxId",5050,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5981274,"Downtown market moves toward construction bids; Phase 2 housing opening planned Oct. 15",575,3058000,3633000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771001-93d1c418c6dd9da7336f306fd8d0c6ca&start=3058&end=3633","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771001-93d1c418c6dd9da7336f306fd8d0c6ca/thumbnail_3058000.jpg","/articles/5981274/Glens-Falls-City/Warren-County/New-York/Downtown-market-moves-toward-construction-bids-Phase-2-housing-opening-planned-Oct-15","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5981274-74702d306103cb3d145e2a053a9428b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771063471&Signature=JZmsbFT4fK5i87qSlYrhavfIPvRTGTgP80gmhcTCiTEE3QqXySpj07iMdAwXd1eizlanMzDKlmQJTgX3wbcYp~qib~8xW7EqzQGYOBVYCrY-J0IkB-JSJl1hY6CtvJez9-qhsGO4kSl73~PAaL5sXuXlGq~7jAIW785gB3C~G939Sl2cvg6m3e2EPSsuAnO5pTUuIovHBmwE4EW1UGzzZWMpXSb-tFCjhxPSodG8LHI3N-44UGiVZvn~NYoctm97b5tYBIOE6zfSAWPdIbzEkaMqe3MSrvdkFtwituamsxypvD30U2FpCi7F7C-a3rhXWS7BIZ4DmJUwi-4LyLIQaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Officials at the Greater Glens Falls market and related downtown projects reported progress on design, procurement and near‑term openings at a Sept. 16 meeting of the Greater Glens Falls Volk Golf Corporation.

Board members said AJD Architecture completed design work for interior construction documents, and staff plans to put general construction work out to bid within the following week. The board discussed purchasing equipment for three core components — the commercial kitchen, the market area, and wayfinding — and said equipment lists are complete.

\"We're going to put out bids within the next week or so,\" a staff member said. The project team said they plan to buy equipment and that some items are already on lists ready for procurement.

Project leaders set a target — an aspirational goal — for a market opening around Dec. 15 and said they have secured interest from Taste NY and engaged Cornell Cooperative Extension about a year‑round vendor/food‑business role. The board also discussed interim heating measures and portable solutions to operate through winter, and said permanent HVAC and bathroom improvements will continue on the construction schedule.

Separately, the board noted that Phase 2 of a workforce housing project — financed with tax credits and construction financing — completed closing and will hold an opening event Oct. 15. Staff said temporary sidewalk repairs will be installed for winter safety and that full paving and permanent sidewalk work will follow in spring.

The board approved payment of Schedule A bills in its corporate meeting and received updates on ongoing efforts to attract retail tenants downtown, parking coordination and outreach to potential commercial tenants for adjacent properties. No formal construction contract award was recorded at the Sept. 16 meeting; staff said they will return with bid results and contract recommendations.","Greater Glens Falls market project advanced to construction‑document and bidding stage; board expects equipment purchases and aims for a December opening.

Tara, an environmental consultant on the matter, told the board that DEC will tour the site on Wednesday the 24th at 10 a.m. to review historical and recent reports and to determine whether additional precautions or testing will be required before construction disturbs soil. \"DEC is coming I think next week out to the site, and we've been invited if someone would like to attend,\" Tara said.

IDA staff reported that financing for the Food Coffee project is in place but that the contractor wants clarity about any required remediation steps before beginning work. Tara said the DEC visit is intended to review existing phase‑I/phase‑II reports and testing wells and to identify any necessary protective measures. Meeting notes indicated the DEC will not perform invasive testing during the walk‑through.

Board members and staff discussed a nearby South Street site where previous work had found areas of contaminated soil that had been covered; IDA staff referenced that earlier remediation when explaining the contractor’s caution. Rob Holbrook of V and H Construction was named as a contractor who will accompany DEC on the site tour.

No formal IDA vote or incentive decision was taken at the Sept. 16 meeting related to this project; board members said they were awaiting DEC’s determination and any required remediation procedures before proceeding.","A planned Food Coffee project at Tech Meadows is stalled while the Department of Environmental Conservation reviews historical site reports.
