The Chalmers Knitting Mill was a historic factory building on the south side of the Mohawk River in the City of at Amsterdam. Originally constructed in 1913, the mill remained in operation until 1959. Saratoga Associates worked closely with the City in the 1990’s to identify adaptive reuse opportunities for this proud old structure. The firm further prepared the City’s “Via Ponte” Brownfield Opportunities Area, which identified the property as a potential brownfield site. Even with potential brownfield grant opportunities available, no developer willing to invest in redevelopment of this aged building could be found. Although listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the City ultimately decided removal of the former knitting mill building offered the best potential for site redevelopment.
