Village of Schoharie Current Burn Ban
The New York State burn ban is in effect for the Village of Schoharie until May 16, 2025, prohibiting brush burning and other open fires. This seasonal restriction is due to the warmer temperatures, breezy conditions, and low humidity which increases the risk of wildfire. The Village of Schoharie is currently in a “Red Flag” status which means that conditions are conducive to fast spreading wildland fire. Small back yard fire pits, BBQ’s, etc. are still legal. Extreme caution is advised.

PRESS RELEASE 4-25-2025
Village of Schoharie Announces First Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) Local Planning Committee Meeting

 
[Schoharie, NY]- The Village of Schoharie will hold its first Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) Local Planning Committee (LPC) meeting on Tuesday, May 6th, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will take place at 300 Main Street, Schoharie, NY. Presenters will provide an overview of the DRI program, Schoharie’s winning application, and the Schoharie DRI planning process, including how the public can get involved. The meeting will also review the process for selecting DRI projects, which will begin in May with an Open Call for Projects. The meeting will include a period for public comments.
 
The Village of Schoharie was named the Round 8 DRI winner for the Mohawk Valley in March 2025. The Village will receive $10 million in funding from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul to develop and implement a Strategic Investment Plan for the DRI Area. An LPC with community representatives will lead the development of the Plan, supported by a team of experts. The committee is co-chaired by Colleen Henry, Mayor of the Village of Schoharie and Dr. Marion Terenzio, President of the SUNY College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill and Regional Co-Chair of the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council.
 
"We’re breathing new life into our historic Mohawk Valley downtowns with investments that will make our communities brighter and more affordable,” Governor Hochul said at the time of the award. “By bringing ambitious developments to certified Pro-Housing Communities, we’re building a better future for residents and for generations to come.”
 
The first LPC meeting will begin the process of developing the Schoharie Strategic Investment Plan. The Plan will examine local assets and opportunities, articulate a community vision for revitalization, and identify a list of signature projects that have the potential to transform the downtown. It will be developed through a community-led planning process over the next several months, with regular opportunities for public input. The community will be invited to submit their project proposals through an Open Call for Projects (further information forthcoming). Following an in-depth review process, the LPC will select a slate of recommended projects to include in the final Plan. The NYS Department of State will evaluate the projects outlined in the Plan and then choose which projects will receive DRI funding.
 
For any questions regarding meeting accessibility, the LPC, or DRI, please contact New York State Department of State Revitalization Specialist Stefan Lutter at [email protected].

Welcome to the Village of Schoharie. The Schoharie area was populated for millennia by Native Americans, specifically the Haudenosaunee (aka Iroquois) confederacy. In fact the name “Schoharie” is derived from the native word To-Was-Scho-Hor, meaning “driftwood”, a reference to the large driftwood piles that would naturally accumulate in the Schoharie Creek. European settlement began in 1711 when Palatine refugees from the Holy Roman Empire (modern Germany) began moving into the Schoharie and greater Mohawk Valley regions. Winters were hard for the Palatines but with gracious assistance from the Haudenosaunee they persevered, in fact many of the descendants from the original Palatine settlers are still residing in Schoharie County. As crops were sowed, the fertile soils of the Schoharie Valley allowed the Palatine settlers to prosper and soon lead to the construction of mills and an influx of non-German settlers eager to begin farming. Before long the Schoharie Valley had become vitally important to the food supply of the entire northern colonial region earning it the nick-name “breadbasket of the revolution” for its support of Washington’s Continental Army.

The
Schoharie area is rich in both colonial and Native American history. Please come explore, peel back the layers of history, and visit our many museums and historic sites.
