Project Description

The Cornwall Arms will transform a long-abandoned, contaminated site on Cornwall’s Main St into a 52-room, fully carbon-neutral, first Passive House-certified boutique hotel in New York State with a restaurant and bar. This project restores a gateway to the historic town, reversing years of disinvestment and advancing the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council’s (opens in new window) MHREDC vision to make the region a better place to live, work, and play. Powered by on-site solar, the project will utilize all-electric systems and be built with low-carbon materials.  The project creates 35 permanent jobs, boosts local tourism, and demonstrates how environmental leadership and economic revitalization can go hand in hand by converting a long-standing liability into a cornerstone of Main Street revitalization. The new hotel and restaurant are expected to draw thousands of visitors annually. With approval of the Hilton franchise, it embodies all three pillars of the MHREDC’s Live-Work-Play strategy; renewing place, expanding opportunity, and strengthening regional appeal that also offers a replicable model for climate-smart hospitality and sustainable development in small communities across the state.

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition supports regionally significant, zero emissions and resilient new construction and existing building renovation projects across New York State. Building Cleaner Communities projects demonstrate how they will help achieve the goals of the New York State Regional Economic Development Council’s Strategic Plan (opens in new window) or other State priorities, while creating resilient and functional spaces that are healthy, safe, comfortable.
