Harrison Town Board Approves Renaissance Harrison Redevelopment Project
Approval advances plans to transform the former Renaissance Westchester Hotel property into a residential community.
The Harrison Town Board has approved a key component of the proposed Renaissance Harrison redevelopment, advancing plans to transform the former Renaissance Westchester Hotel property at 80 West Red Oak Lane into a residential community.
At its November 5 meeting, the Town Board voted to approve a settlement agreement with Renaissance Harrison LLC and grant final special exception use approval for the redevelopment project.
The approval follows an extended review process involving the Harrison Planning Board, public hearings and discussions regarding the project's potential impacts on local infrastructure, traffic and municipal services.
As part of the agreement, 33 proposed residential villas will be restricted to residents aged 55 and older under federal housing regulations for older persons.
The redevelopment has been the subject of extensive planning and environmental review, including a Final Environmental Impact Statement addressing housing demand, traffic, infrastructure and fiscal considerations.
The project represents a significant redevelopment opportunity for Harrison, converting a former hotel property to residential use while adding new housing options to the local market.
The Town Board's action marks an important step forward for the development following years of planning and municipal review.
