The Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation (GARC) is a 501(c)(3) organization that is working with the Village of Gowanda to redevelop the former Peter Cooper Landfill Superfund site as a recreational space and gateway to the Zoar Valley. The site has been brought from a contaminated brownfield to a condition where it is ready for final planning and construction phases. The creation of a Gowanda Zoar Valley Gateway Park will culminate nearly two decades of environmental restoration efforts that have been made to the site.
