Little Falls' DRI will focus on reconnecting its Downtown Main Street to its waterfront along the Mohawk River and historic Canal District. As the only city in Herkimer County, Little Falls envisions itself as the most desirable residential community in the region by reconnecting isolated parts of the city to create a single single, cohesive downtown district. The City has experienced approximatel

These investments include new apartment housing, a bourbon distilling site, and a proposed new train station providing passenger service.

About the Little Falls DRI program:
The Little Falls Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) is a comprehensive approach to boost the Little Falls local economy and transform its downtown into a vibrant destination, where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live, work, and raise a family.

This ten-million dollar ($10,000,000) financial incentive program is funded by the State of New York and is guided by the Little Falls Local Planning Committee (LPC). The LPC is comprised of local stakeholders from a variety of relevant backgrounds, industries, and sectors and is responsible for overseeing the development of the Little Falls DRI Strategic Investment Plan. The purpose of the Strategic Investment Plan is to identify, describe, and recommend transformative projects for Little Falls DRI funding.

The City's proposed DRI Area reconnects two historically separate districts — the Main Street District and the Canal District — into a unified, vibrant City Center.

The Main Street District is the central hub of Little Falls commerce and tourism. The famous Main Street Canopy attracts visitors and cinematographers and was featured in the 2017 film, A Quiet Place, directed by John Krasinski. Main Street hosts numerous festivals, such as the Cheese Festival which attracts 6,000 visitors. Main Street is home to a variety of professional and retail businesses, grocery, banking, loft spaces, and other services. Main Street experiences fast-paced pedestrian activity - walkability, lighting, and parking are vital.

​The Canal District is known as Little Falls' arts and cultural hub. It is anchored by Sterzinar Park and Benton's Landing and is home to a variety of quaint shops, dining, lodging and entertainment opportunities. The Canal District is known for its historic industrial architecture with history in textiles, knitting, paper mills, etc., and for its access to the Mohawk River and Erie Canals, Moss Island, the Empire State Trail and other recreational opportunities.
