William J. Kemble reports in The Daily Freeman that the Saugerties Town Board is considering changes that could add dozens of business to the Kings Highway corridor on Kings Highway between Glasco Turnpike and state Route 212. “There’s been a number of businesses over the last ... two years that have expressed an interest in wanting to come in and relocate in that area, but because of zoning restrictions, they just couldn’t,” Councilwoman Leeanne Thornton said. The Saugerties Comprehensive Planning Committee recommended the changes, which would add 52 uses to the 19 already allowed in the Industrial District and 25 uses to the 33 currently permitted in the Office/Light Industrial District. “The result of the revisions ... would be to allow retail, service, office and similar uses in addition to customary industrial uses in the I and OLI districts,” the recommendation reads. read the full story in The Daily Freeman.
