17 Nov Invitation to Bid: Feasibility Study for Workforce Housing Development in Ticonderoga, NY

The Essex County Land Bank (ECLB) is seeking bids from qualified consultants to undertake a Feasibility Study for a housing development initiative in Ticonderoga, NY. The primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility of constructing three to four stick-built homes or placing three to four modular homes on 130 The Portage. Additionally, the project involves rehabilitating a land bank home at 175 The Portage, resulting in the creation of 4-5 new workforce housing units.

Scope of Work:

1. Pre-permitting and Feasibility Assessment
2. Grant Subsidy Layering
3. Limited Public Outreach: A single survey and a town-wide housing needs assessment
