In a split decision, the Appellate Court has ruled in favor of a citizens group challenging part of Plattsburgh's downtown redevelopment plans. In 2017 the city of Plattsburgh received a $10 million Downtown Redevelopment Initiative grant, or DRI, from the state. Part of the project includes redeveloping the Durkee Street parking lot, an area of about 3.4 acres between the Saranac River and the city center. The Plattsburgh Citizens Coalition challenged the city and zoning board's approval of environmental review of the property.
