Draft Vision Statement - RevisedThe Brandywine Corridor is an important gateway to the City of Binghamton and Broome County that is currently characterized by an aging industrial area with many vacant or underused properties with environmental challenges.

The community seeks to promote high quality urban design and quality of life while leveraging existing assets, including transportation infrastructure, to sustainably redevelop and revitalize the area to generate a positive impact on the region’s economy.

Partnerships with local, state and regional agencies as well as the private sector and educational institutions will be the key to a successful redevelopment of this corridor.
