Cortlandt Park Quarry on Hudson - Cortlandt Park Quarry on Hudson

The Town of Cortlandt intends to redevelop a portion of an approximate 99-acre parcel along the Hudson River in the hamlet of Verplanck.  This parcel was formerly owned by Con Edison and was also the site of a limestone quarry, the defining feature of the property, which has filled with natural spring waters and is now a 31.66 acre pond. 

The Town of Cortlandt is requesting proposals from all interested and qualified developers for design concepts for the re-use and redevelopment of the 31.66 acre quarry pond and approximately 15.5 acres of the surrounding land with family and neighborhood recreational uses including but not limited to aquatic and non-aquatic attractions such as the use of the site’s quarry pond for swimming and scuba diving, the creation of a public swimming beach along the Hudson River shoreline, the installation of a boat launch, walking trails, amphitheater, educational / training center, recreational fields and courts and complementary food services (e.g., restaurant, concessions, etc.).
 
The proposal must be considerate of the surrounding local residential community and allow for priority use to Town residents, clubs and associations.
