Our Goals & Programs

Neighborhood-Scale Community Advocacy

Neighborhood-Scale Stewardship & Design

Our EcoDistrict Program is creating the New York State’s very first EcoDistrict® and puts us in the company of larger cities worldwide. And our slated capital improvement and infrastructure projects will now dovetail with ROC the Riverway initiatives to create a vibrant, sustainable and resilient neighborhood at High Falls
