Cornhill Revitalization Project

The Project & Impact Centers

The Cornhill Project — an effort undertaken by the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, People First, Mid-Utica Neighborhood Preservation Corporation, Collective Impact Network and the City of Utica—will create over 100 new apartments and 30,000 square feet of commercial and community space at two newly constructed “Impact Centers” on West and James streets in Utica’s Cornhill neighborhood. In addition to addressing the city’s affordable housing needs, the centers will seek to provide residents and the surrounding neighborhood with access to resources such as:

• Nonprofit Partner Programs and Services

• Community Meeting Spaces

• Business Incubator

• Dedicated Arts and Media Studio

• Gym and Wellness Facility

• Neighborhood Grocery Store

An Impact Center is an anchor facility focused on creating significant positive change in a specific area. This could involve improving educational outcomes, addressing social issues, stimulating economic development, or working on environmental wellbeing of a community. The main intent is to make a meaningful difference in a specific neighborhood, city or region, that aligns with the direct feedback of community residents.
