Brownfields Project:
Brownfield Cleanup Program Goal
Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or underused properties where the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Examples include former gas stations, dry cleaners, factories, warehouses, and other industrial or commercial sites.
The goal of the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) is to encourage private-sector cleanups of brownfields and to promote their redevelopment as a means to revitalize economically blighted communities. The BCP is an alternative to greenfield development and is intended to remove some of the barriers to, and provide tax incentives for, the redevelopment of urban brownfields.

Micron Wetland Mitigation:
Why Are Wetlands Valuable?
Wetlands are known by many names, such as marshes, swamps, bogs, and wet meadows. Wetlands are transition areas between uplands and aquatic habitats. Standing water is only one clue that a wetland may be present. Many wetlands only have visible water during certain seasons of the year. For many years, people did not recognize the many diverse benefits and values of wetlands. Consequently, New York has lost almost half of its historic wetlands to such activities as filling and draining. However, wetlands are valuable to the people and environment of New York State.
The first public meeting was on September 23, 2025 and we had a good turnout. The presentation is provided below.

Support Schroeppel 2025 !:
As the holiday season arrives, the desire to give generously amplifies. This year, the Town of Schroeppel is sponsoring two promotional weeks designed to highlight the options our residents have within our own town to fulfill this desire. This is a chance for local businesses to exhibit what makes them unique in the community, while also keeping money circulating within our local economy.
