The Partition Street Project is being built on the former Cantine Mill property [aka Barclays Dam]. Back in 1985 Saugerties Village government recognized the potential of the 7 acres that borders the lower Esopus Creek and at its center the magnificent dam which was constructed to help fuel the industrial revolution.
The Partition Street Project will have a significant impact on the long-term economic future of Saugerties.

Two new cost-saving site plans for the Partition Street Project are being proposed by well-know “Farmers’ Market” Barry Benepe (“… revolutionized the urban landscape by bringing local farmers and their crops into the city.”) and David Minch a Saugerties-based architect.
