Oneida Indian Nation Neighborhood Design Services

In 2020, the Nation expressed interest in developing 300+acres of land within the bounds of the Oneida Indian Nation, near the Village of White Pine and Territory Road, for residential and tribal use. The scope of work for the entire 5-year master plan (Phases 1-4) includes road extensions, construction of single-family residential housing, development of trail system for tribal use, evaluation and extension of existing utility systems, stormwater management facilities to meet requirements of the Nation, grading and configuration of existing trail areas to enhance use and site amenities, as well as a new community recreational facility.

Phase 1 supported extension of connector road including sidewalks, planting strips, lighting, and elevation changes to create character and visual interest.
Phase 2 will support development of green open space (grassland and shrubland), a portion of the trail system and formal recreational program opportunities (new play fields), new community recreational facility, connector road extension, and an addition to the existing residential neighborhood, is currently underway.
