Synopsis:

With the recent decommissioning of Camp Gabriels and now the impending closure of the Visitor Interpretive Center by the State of New York, the town of Brighton is taking action. The community has decided that rather than complaining to the State about the closures, they have instead created a Town Redevelopment Citizens’ Committee. This committee has the duty of exploring potential reuse options for both locations. The discussions are centered around adaptive reuse of both properties. New York released an adaptive reuse plan for Camp Gabriels in the fall of 2009, but nothing came of it. While the State is now thinking of demolishing the buildings, the community hopes to find better alternatives. The idea is to ensure the benefit of Brighton and the region.
