Broome County Industrial Site Redevelopment Project Begins
What happened
The Broome County Industrial Development Agency hosted a ground raising event for its 600 Main Street Readiness Project. This project involves elevating approximately 16 acres of the site above the floodplain using 160,000 cubic yards of structural fill. BAE Systems previously occupied the site until it flooded in 2011, after the U.S. Air Force transferred the property to the Agency in 2018.

Why it matters
The redevelopment aims to create a resilient, shovel-ready site for future industries. Empire State Development is partnering with an investment of up to $6.7 million through its FAST New York program to support the project.
County officials plan the redevelopment of a former BAE Systems complex located in Johnson City, Broome County.
