The intent of the CRI, Camp Road Interchange District, is to
provide an area for larger, upscale regional-type commercial operations
at this important entranceway into the Town. This area has access
to the NYS Thruway and major highways within the Town that provide
transportation routes to and from surrounding communities. Important
components of this area are automobile access, aesthetics, landscaping,
adaptive reuse, residential buffering, and protection of incompatible
uses. Enhancing the overall image of the Town shall be part of the
design. See the Hamburg Gateway Revitalization Design Project for
a sample of development of the lands previously owned by the NYS Thruway
Authority.
