the project is being spearheaded by the erie canalway national heritage corridor, whose officials said thursday they are in phase one of the initiative, which will include development of a comprehensive preservation and adaptive reuse plan, site and utility assessments, initial revitalization work and providing a foundation for phase two plans. phase one is estimated to cost $ 334, 982, of which group has already secured a good chunk in grants and private donations .
“we want to first share our ideas with this project, but we also want to hear input from the public, as well, ” said bill price, vice president of fisher associates, the firm hired by the corridor to consider uses for the site .
the two - hour, standing - room - only meeting started off with a presentation given by representatives from the corridor and fisher associates. they said the reuse plan could include an educational component where people could learn to build handcrafted boats, or such amenities as kayak and bicycle rentals, concession or restaurant space and public camping .
officials admitted many of the buildings on the site have been damaged by flooding and only three seem to be salvageable .
after their hourlong presentation, officials turned to the public for its ideas, with guests able to speak one - on - one with project representatives to ask questions or share their ideas for the site. many said they wanted to attend the meeting so they could see what was being proposed for the site, which hasn’t been open to the public in decades .
others, like lansingburgh resident ashley jones, are excited about the recreational possibilities for the site .
“i am a long - distance runner, so i run around peebles island all the time, ” said jones. “i would love something like having a kayak rental place, and i think it would be great for us to have more recreational activities for adults. ”
cohoes mayor shawn morse also attended the meeting and said he was pleased with the public turnout .
“i thought it was exciting that there was that many people who took part in the meeting, ” said morse on friday. “it is always good to see resident participation like that. ”
morse said he is also eager for the opportunities the project could present to the city .
“it’s still in the early, early stages, and i am not sure that anybody has any defined idea for what exactly is going to happen, but the water access is highly important to us, as well as having the opportunity for visitors who come here to visit our restaurants and our downtown area, ” said morse. “i think economically that could all be a good boost to our community. ”
corridor officials were similarly pleased with the turnout, as well as the public input .
“i think it really demonstrates the local interest in the project, ” said andy kitzmann, assistant director of the organization, after the meeting .
the public will be able to offer more input at a second public meeting expected to take place in late april or early may. officials plan to develop a list of ideas and cost estimates prior to that next meeting .

buildings on the property have been damaged by flooding and only three are salvageable, attendees were told. those include the small former watchman' s building at the front of the site, the carpenters' shop and a building that had stores on the first floor and offices above .

erie canalway national heritage corridor officials said that they are currently in phase one of the initiative, which will include development of a comprehensive preservation and adaptive reuse plan, site and utility assessments, initial revitalization work and providing foundation for phase two plans and resources. phase one is estimated to cost $ 334, 982 .
officials said they already received a majority of the funds through grants as well as through public and private support. they already secured a $ 238, 642 grant through the capital region economic development council and the new york state office of parks, recreation and historic preservation. funds were also received from albany county convention and visitor’s bureau, national trust for historic perseveration and hudson river valley nha and recently received another grant for $ 148, 000 from the new york state canal corporation. an additional $ 21, 500 was also raised through other public and private support and the erie canalway heritage fund is now seeking to raise the required matching funds and have committed $ 31, 250 .
officials say the project could benefit the public by providing interpretive and educational opportunities, access to the hudson river, commercial and recreational activities and as a potential organizational headquarters for the erie canalway national heritage corridor .
“the first thing that comes to mind for this site is to have public workshops on building handcraft boats, ” said kitzmann. “some public amenities could include things such as kayak and bike rentals, potentially a concessions space and potentially public camping. ”
kitzmann said the project could also benefit the city of cohoes since the city doesn’t have any public water access .
“the city of cohoes, interestingly enough, doesn’t have any public water access even though they have all of these channels of river coming through, but everything is private; so, the city is very interested in public water access, ” said kitzmann .
mayor shawn morse said that he welcomes any opportunity for the city to gain acess to public water .
“any opportunity that the city has to gain access to the water only enhances the ability of our residents to enjoy the beautiful opportunities the river brings, ” said morse. “we will continue to look for ways to bring these opportunities to residents of cohoes and for our visitors. ”
the public meeting is being held at peebles island state park visitor center feb. 2 from 5: 30 p. m. to 7: 30 p. m. where guests will have the opportunity to meet with erie canalway representatives and also with representatives from the project coordinator fisher associates of rochester .
“if we have a small number of people from the public at the meeting then we will do a presentation and take questions from the audience, ” said kitzmann. “but if we have a large number of people in attendance we will have stations set up, where folks can mingle and talk with us individually. we are also looking to indentify people who have worked on this site since we have funding from hudson river national heritage area to do an oral history project, so we are trying to identify individuals to bring their stories into the interpretive piece. ”
at the hearing visitors will be able to see preliminary plans and offer input on next steps. erie canalway staff and project consultants said they are interested in hearing about the types of facilities, information and amenities people would like to see at the site .
