A long-unused 10.8-acre site in Dryden, originally purchased by the NYSDOT for a maintenance facility, has been sold for $163,000 to Park Grove Realty. The land, assessed at $275,000, was deemed surplus after DOT moved to Lansing in 2020.
Park Grove, a major developer in Tompkins County, has been in informal talks with Dryden officials about a potential housing project. The site, currently zoned for industrial use, may require rezoning. Its development could complement the nearby 500+ unit Ezra Village project, benefiting from $5.9 million in state grants for infrastructure improvements.
The project will require local planning approvals, with details yet to be announced by Park Grove Realty.
