But the developers never presented the village with a concrete proposal.
Three private developers presented preliminary plans at a public hearing earlier this month.
After several failed proposals, developers are now presenting plans for a mixed-use development with up to 850 residential units.
Before any project can move ahead in the city, the developer must present a proposal to the neighborhood's community board.
So next Wednesday, the developers will present their latest plans to the board, according to a community board spokeswoman.
Town officials say developers have presented no plans for any development on Patrick Farm, so it is impossible to tell what will be built there.
The review, required by state law, includes public hearings at which the developer and opponents can present studies to support their views.
Since then, developers have periodically presented plans for a revival, or a gambling hub, that have quickly disappeared.
Traffic studies the developer presented to the Common Council asserted that traffic would not be adversely affected by the addition of 1,000 vehicles to the area.
The developer is already resorting to euphemisms and presenting the project as a multi-functional centre.
