Description
Description | Developer Jake Johnson planned to develop several vacant acres on Butterfield Avenue in Watertown into new housing, initially proposing 138 apartments but later scaling down to single-family homes and duplexes due to local opposition. The project was to be supported by an infrastructure grant through the Empire State Development’s County Infrastructure Grant program, aimed at improving the city's aging infrastructure and promoting housing projects. The grant was worth $500,000, potentially increasing to $1 million if tied to a housing project. However, the grant was pulled at the last minute and redirected to another project outside city limits, causing the project to be put on hold due to inadequate sewer infrastructure. |
