MARCY, N.Y. — The New York Upstate Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA) recognized Mohawk Valley EDGE and Environmental Design and Research (EDR) with a best practice award for the Marcy Tech Barn project.
The Tech Barn is a planned mixed-use, live-work environment featuring market-rate loft apartments, flexible commercial space, office space, and research and development opportunities. It will act as a gateway to the Marcy Nanocenter campus and SUNY Polytechnic Institute, as well as Wolfspeed’s Mohawk Valley Fab facility. The Tech Barn is also just 3 miles from downtown Utica.
Mohawk Valley EDGE sought public input, provided conceptual masterplans, and fostered outreach incentives to inform various parties of the project’s progress. Christian Mercurio, VP of planning and development and one of MV EDGE’s project leads, worked closely with members of the ERD team to collaboratively enact milestones.
