Steve ArtsWNews (www.artsw.org/artswnews), your guide to Apkon would no doubt say: "It was the power of the image."

    An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by James Atchue (ECE), Lauren Farris (BC), Phillip Royal (CE) Advisors: Suzanne LePage (CE), Derren Rosbach (UGS) Sponsor: Duncan’s Abbey Brewing - Justin DiNino, Owner Date: April 25, 2017 NOTE: This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see https://www.wpi.edu/academics/undergraduate/project-based-learning. Abstract This project assessed multiple viable reuse scenarios for the conversion of a historic pump house in Tarrytown, New York by Duncan’s Abbey Brewery. Complementary uses, accessibility, location and other site characteristics were analyzed and prioritized based on practicality. Site access, sustainability, and additional funding were reviewed and explored in order to create a plan for the reuse of the property. The results of this project were presented to Tarrytown community officials. ii Executive Summary The currently dormant Eastview Pumping Station in Tarrytown, NY has a rich history and potentially promising future. This project assessed multiple viable reuse scenarios that are compatible with Duncan’s Abbey’s future brewing space in the Eastview Station, while providing a framework for accessibility, sustainability, and community integration. Efforts were made within the project to provide thoughtful consideration of the historic nature of the site. The sponsor of this IQP is Duncan’s Abbey Brewery. Brewer-owner Justin DiNino has an appreciation for the history of the Eastview Station, as well as the Village of Tarrytown itself.

  • Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Mid-Hudson Municipality Name: Village of Tarrytown Downtown Name: Tarrytown Waterfront and Downtown County: Westchester Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. Tarrytown’s downtown is at the cusp of an exciting new expansion. This is especially important related to the impacts anticipated from the projected influx of thousands of tourists into the Village of Tarrytown over the New NYBridge and its Shared Use Path (SUP). The Village’s traditional downtown, along Main Street and Broadway, is a popular, walkable destination with a variety of shops and restaurants and the regionally important Tarrytown Music Hall as its anchor. The Village is working to not only improve the Downtown through planning and investment, it is recognizing its challenges and potential. Recently, through leveraging State and County resources and careful thought and public engagement, the Village has also turned its attention to its train station area and waterfront. This former industrial area has seen recent private and public investment and has the potential to be the home for new mixed-use neighborhoods bringing jobs, housing, recreation and tax revenue that better link the existing downtown to the River, the Village’s transit hub, the region’s pedestrian and bicycle trailway system and unforgettable vistas of the River and the New NYBridge.

The Hudson River Gold Coast was born on the land of Greystone on Hudson and has been the address of choice for America’s most venerable families since the nineteenth century. The string of magnificent private estates stretching from Greystone on Hudson to the Rockefeller compound Kykuit gained the name “Millionaire’s Row” and encompassed many of the most opulent homes of Westchester’s golden age of high society, including Gould’s neighboring Lyndhurst Castle and the surrounding Astor, Morgan, and Lehman manors. The historic Greystone mansion was a regal Italianate stone castle and, for a century, was the family home of several of America’s most prosperous families, including John D. Rockefeller’s business partner and a founder of one of the original twelve Dow Jones Industrial members. Today this revered site, surrounded by the Hudson River and two thousand acres of permanently preserved parkland, has been transformed into Greystone on Hudson. A setting that inspires, within two thousand acres of lushly forested preserve with breathtaking views of the Hudson River. 66 77 Greystone on Hudson is surrounded by many of America’s most significant estates, including the Rockefeller family compound Kykuit. 8 9 8 9 The winding tree-lined road at Greystone on Hudson is framed by an allee of heritage specimen trees planted over a century ago. 10 11 10 11 Greystone on Hudson is on the estate grounds of the original Greystone Castle, home to several of America’s most prominent families during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
