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.
