N Division Street Bridge Project
The N. Division Street Bridge replacement project was completed in December of 2019.
The City of Auburn replaced the N. Division Street Bridge, a $6.5 million infrastructure investment that revitalized this major connection on our City's west end. The construction portion of this project was funded by the Federal and State government through a BRIDGE NY grant covering 99.5% of the $6.5 million project.
This project included:
- the complete replacement and realignment of the N. Division Street Bidge
- reconstruction and realignment of the intersection at N. Division St./Clark St./Columbus St./Arterial West.

The City of Auburn North Division Street Hydro-Electric Project Overview
The North Division Street Hydroelectric facility is undergoing remodeling so it may become a fully functioning renewable energy provider. This new facility will be a gem in Auburn, providing clean energy generated by the Owasco River. Once completed, this location will have a number of benefits that will create growth within the city and the county as a whole. The North Division Street Dam will become a natural and clean power provider. The revitalization of the North Division Street Dam will create electricity using the Owasco River and in doing so provide additional power to the City of Auburn and surrounding areas. The rehabilitation of this Dam will create over 4,000 MWh annually for Auburn and the county as a whole.
The Project hinges on multiple funding and creative cash flow opportunities including a $1.2 Million dollar grant provided by the New York State Empire Development Agency (NYSESD), the sale of Renewable Energy Credits to the New York State Energy Research & Development Agency (NYSERDA), Federal IRS Clean Renewable Energy Bonding, and remote net metering whereas the City will utilize their existing metered accounts as the end user of the energy created at the facility.
