EPA RLF Remediation: Former Newport School, Herkimer County, NY
The Former Newport School is located at 7456 East Street in Newport, Herkimer County, NY. The Site is 1.1 acres and consists of one parcel of land identified by the Herkimer County tax assessor as SBL 094.47-2-8.2. One three-story building totaling 24,584 square feet was constructed in 1928 and utilized as a public school until being vacated in 1990. The Site has remained vacant and unused. The building interior is in dilapidated condition to the extent that a structural evaluation deemed the building unsafe to enter (Delta Engineers, Architects & Surveyors, March 2023). Trash and collapsing interior walls and ceilings are present throughout the majority of the building.
The remainder of the Site includes grass covered areas and a driveway adjacent to the west of the building, and overgrown vegetation around the remainder of the building.
The redevelopment of the Site is to be determined with community input. The priority for the project is to remove the existing hazard and its blighting effect on Village residents.
