Naturally Lewis and LCDC Invite Development Interest for
Former Lyons Falls Mill Site
 Lyons Falls, NY — Naturally Lewis,
Inc., on behalf of the Lewis County Development Corporation (LCDC), is inviting
developers, business owners, and entrepreneurs to submit Expressions of Interest
for the redevelopment of the former Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper Mill site,
a vacant riverfront property in the Village of Lyons Falls.
The approximately
6.5-acre site, located at 4010 Center Street, sits at the confluence of the
Moose River and Black River and offers access to public water and sewer, natural
gas, high-speed internet, and proximity to New York State Route 12. The property
has undergone extensive demolition and environmental remediation efforts and
is positioned for future redevelopment.
The Village of Lyons
Falls has been designated a New York State Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA),
and prior planning and feasibility studies identified the mill site as a key
opportunity for redevelopment that could support commercial, industrial, hospitality,
or recreation-based uses. The BOA designation helps position the site for funding
opportunities and reduces barriers to redevelopment.
“This site represents
a transformational opportunity for Lyons Falls and Lewis County,” said Joanne
Witt, Executive Director of Naturally Lewis, Inc. “We are seeking development
concepts that align with the community’s vision and build on the significant
public and private investment already made to prepare this site for future use.”
Expressions of Interest
are due by February 27, 2026, and site visits are available by appointment.
