Land Use & Zoning

Lemery Greisler has a very active and long established land use, zoning and planning practice.  The firm’s partners and associates are highly skilled in all aspects of the practice and are actively involved in both large and small-scale development projects from inception to completion.  In their day-to-day practice, attorneys work hand in hand with clients in order to ascertain their goals in relation to project development and related infrastructure such as roads, water, sewer and electric. 

Working in coordination with various consultants including landscape architects and traffic and structural engineers, attorneys prepare site plan and variance applications, and make related appearances before municipal planning boards as well as zoning boards of appeal.  On behalf of its clients, attorneys have successfully obtained countless project approvals from these boards, as well as the area and use variances needed to bring a proposed project to fruition. Where necessary, attorneys also coordinate with state agencies such as the Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Conservation, as well as utility companies such as Verizon and National Grid, and other entities that either impact, or are impacted by, the proposed development.  In essence, attorneys serve as “project managers,” coordinating all members of the development team from contractors to engineers. 

Recently, the firm has been actively involved in several major development projects in the Capital Region, including the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark, Luther Forest Technology Campus, Town of Corinth Acquisition of D & H Railroad and Saratoga Polo Residence Retreat.
