BCW’s Gordon Among Officials Celebrating Groundbreaking for $21M Mixed-Use Multi-Modal Transportation Hub In Ossining

State, County and Village officials were on hand Thursday for the groundbreaking of the Village of Ossining’s $21 million mixed-use Multi-Modal Transportation Hub, a key project of the Village of Ossining’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI).

The Transportation Hub is to provide approximately 242 vehicle parking spaces and promote decreased reliance on vehicle use with bicycle infrastructure to accommodate parking and charging, and space designed for an E-bike repair shop. The Hub will also support infill redevelopment and expanded park space in the southwest corner of Downtown Ossining by freeing up valuable land that is currently used for surface parking. The DRI provided $2.24 million for the project.

“The groundbreaking of this Multi-Modal Transportation Hub marks a huge step forward for the future of downtown Ossining,” said Secretary of State Walter T. Mosley. “This project will enhance walkability and bikeability, support long-term economic growth and infill development downtown, positioning Ossining as a model for community-driven redevelopment across New York State.”

Among those attending the event was BCW President & CEO Marsha Gordon who is Co-Chair of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council, said “The Ossining Transportation Hub will improve access to the waterfront, support local businesses, and build on the Village’s efforts to revitalize its historic downtown and attract new investment to the region. The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council is proud to support projects like this that strengthen downtowns and help to create vibrant, walkable communities.”

State Senator Peter Harckham said, “This investment in Ossining marks another important step toward building more open, accessible, and connected communities across the state. By promoting sustainable transportation options, we’re linking more residents to Ossining’s vibrant downtown and helping spur thoughtful economic growth.”

Mayor of Ossining Rika Levin said, “This groundbreaking is an important step for the Village of Ossining. The $10 million we received through New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative is allowing us to advance projects that improve our downtown in practical, lasting ways — from better pedestrian connections to stronger public spaces. These investments reflect the priorities our community identified, and they will help ensure our downtown continues to serve residents, businesses, and visitors well into the future.”

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “This groundbreaking represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking investment Westchester County needs.  This is about infrastructure that improves quality of life while strengthening our local economy. Ossining’s new Multi-Modal Transportation Hub will make it easier for residents and visitors to move safely and efficiently, whether by car, bike, e-bike or on foot, while freeing up valuable land for new development and expanded public space.”

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Strategic investments in projects like the Ossining Multi-Modal Transportation Hub help communities unlock new opportunities while improving quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Through the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, New York State is supporting the infrastructure that strengthens urban cores, enhances connectivity, and builds the foundation for sustainable economic growth.”
