The current subdivision was once simply called “New Community of Lysander,” the area now named for Radisson has a long and interesting history, beginning just after the American Revolution.

At the outset of World War II, the federal government, seeking a site to manufacture armor-piercing munitions, purchased 6,000 acres of the tract from Astor.

Notable corporate tenants include town offices, childcare, distribution centers, food production & warehousing, banking, law enforcement, several engineering/manufacturing companies, large athletic complexes and the largest brewery in the Northeast.

Radisson is best known for its beautiful neighborhoods, golf course, miles of community trails that meander near streams and ponds, design standards for homes and its corporate park.

When Radisson is complete, this planned unit development (PUD) will have nearly 3,500 homes, an even larger corporate park as well as a wide range of recreational, educational and community services.

Positive population growth is expected in the 2020 decade, likely attributable to expansion of community lands (by acquisition and merging of adjacent acreage), thus lending itself to construction of new homes.
