“Our goal is to enable this historic landmark to better serve the public and become a regional destination that fuels our local economy with new business and tourism.

This plan will preserve the historical significance of the Emerson Park Pavilion even as it is transformed into a year-round destination venue that brings enhanced economic and social value to Cayuga County.

This project is a first for our foundation. Not only is this the first public-private partnership for us, but the scale of investment involved is unprecedented for our foundation.

We want to see the Pavilion become a much more viable asset for Emerson Park and the community as a whole.”
