New $21M Transportation Hub in Ossining
To Expand Parking, Charging, Green Space
OSSINING, NY—Construction has officially begun on the Village of Ossining’s $21-million, mixed-use Multi-Modal Transportation Hub in the downtown district. A number of state, county and local dignitaries participated in the ceremonial first dirt throw held on Feb. 19.
The transportation hub is a key project of the Village of Ossining’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) and will provide approximately 242 vehicle parking spaces and promote decreased reliance on vehicle use through the expansion of bicycle infrastructure to accommodate parking, charging, and space designed for an E-bike repair shop.
The hub will also support infill redevelopment and expanded park space in the southwest corner of Downtown Ossining by freeing up valuable land that is currently used for surface parking. The state’s DRI provided $2.24 million for the project.
“The groundbreaking of this Multi-Modal Transportation Hub marks a huge step forward for the future of downtown Ossining,” said New York Secretary of State Walter T. Mosley. “This project will enhance walkability and bikeability, support long-term economic growth and infill development downtown, positioning Ossining as a model for community-driven redevelopment across New York State.”
The hub project has also received $1 million through Empire State Development’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA). In addition to the Multi-Modal Transportation Hub, the following DRI projects are also being funded by the DRI in Ossining:
• Enhancing Streetscaping in the Station Plaza Neighborhood to Improve Connectivity: Beautify the Station Plaza neighborhood through improved streets, widened sidewalks, bikeability and connectivity between the waterfront and upper Main Street.
• Enhancing and Expanding the Market Square Public Plaza: Design and construct a new landscaped public plaza with areas designed to accommodate a range of community gatherings.
• Preserving and Revitalizing the Historic Olive Opera House Building: Conduct exterior renovations, restorations and retrofitting of the interior of the building to allow for flexible workspaces, studios and a performance space with modular stage and to accommodate the Sing Sing Prison Museum preview center.
• Upgrading the Louis Engel Waterfront Park Performance Space: Replace the existing stage with a new, resilient performance space to accommodate performances in inclement weather while drawing locals and visitors to the waterfront.
• Transforming the Joseph G. Caputo Community Center: Transform the Community Center into a modern facility for intergenerational recreation and learning that will create opportunities for innovative programming while providing expanded and improved space for STEM and sports for children, adults and seniors.
The Village of Ossining was named the Mid-Hudson Valley Region’s Revitalization Initiative winner for the fifth round in 2021. Other DRI winners in the region have included Haverstraw, Middletown, Kingston, New Rochelle, Peekskill, Port Jervis, White Plains and Poughkeepsie.
