Owner Requests Another Extension For Main Street Building Construction BY ANTHONY MURRAY

hile driving through the village’s downtown, you may still notice a decent sized gap between a row of buildings that line Main Street near the LIRR grade crossing. So what is going on in that area? Back in February of 2019, the village board approved a four-story mixed use building at 86 and 88 Main St. that would have retail space on the first floor with 11 residential apartment units above. The project would involve razing the vacant Buccelli Uomo at 86 Main St. and combining it with the vacant lot at 88 Main St. The building that once stood at 88 Main St. was demolished back in 1974. The new building, which drew some strong opposition from local business owners in the area, would also increase the village’s tax base. See rest of story on page 18
