MAMARONECK, NY—The Village of Mamaroneck announced on Nov. 24 a number of economic development initiatives it is pursuing to attract private investment, including rezoning sections of Mamaroneck Avenue, addressing the persistent issue of chronic flooding and issuing an RFP for a “reimagined” Civic Center.
The village is pursuing a $4.5 million New York Forward grant to revitalize the village’s downtown, investing in streetscape improvements, rehabilitating and repurposing an old firehouse and improving connectivity between the Avenue, off-Avenue parking areas and the Harbor Island Park waterfront. The village recently presented its application to the public before it was submitted earlier this month.
The Village of Mamaroneck is also exploring zoning changes to the industrial area, along the Metro North Railroad/Mamaroneck and New England Thruway/Sheldrake River between Rockland Avenue and Plaza Avenue, to allow for work/live units, retail and recreational uses. The village has retained rePLACE Urban Studios, a Manhattan-based architectural and design firm, to explore a mixed-use overlay zone incorporating essential flood mitigation measures, a top priority of the Village. These zoning changes are also part of the cornerstone of the grant application in highlighting how it will draw private investment and strengthen its small business community.
“The proposed IAC Overlay was a coordinated effort by property and business owners, residents and the municipal government to preserve the existing industrial uses but to allow growth that would be consistent with other commercial uses yet remain in harmony with the neighboring residential neighborhoods. This approach provided a means to protect and celebrate the longstanding industrial use yet pave the way for additional vibrant uses such as restaurants, bakeries, art galleries and recreational facilities, thereby assuring long-term economic and environmental longevity,” said Andrew Spatz, Co-Chair of the Industrial Area Redevelopment Committee.
Earlier this month the village issued a Request for Proposals for developers to offer plans to redevelop some or all of several village-owned properties at 169 Mount Pleasant Ave. and the adjacent Hunter Tier Parking Deck across the street on Prospect Avenue, totaling approximately 4.1 acres, into a mixed-use Village Civic Center. The RFP would involve redeveloping the Hunter Tier Parking Lot to increase parking capacity and add several stories of housing (10% of which would be affordable) and redeveloping village facilities. Those facilities include Village Hall, the police station and courthouse. In addition, this project will require investment in local infrastructure that helps manage stormwater and deliver other community benefits. The submission deadline for the RFP is Jan. 15, 2026.
“Through opportunities such as New York Forward, the village is taking action to revitalize the downtown and encourage additional community benefits from the private sector that address core issues such as lack of parking and flood mitigation. We will continue to keep village residents informed every step of the way, throughout this process,” said Kathleen Gill, Village Manager.
“These initiatives are a major step towards a new, more accessible and more resilient downtown that can be enjoyed more easily not only by our own residents, but by those in surrounding communities as well,” added Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Sharon Torres.
The three casino license proposals will now be reviewed by the full New York State Gaming Commission, which is expected to vote on the projects before year-end.
