Brockport to study loft feasibility
by Kristina Gabalski
The Brockport Village Board has approved and authorized two measures that are part of a feasibility study regarding upper loft conversions in the village’s historic district.
Brockport Historic Preservation Board Chairman Bill Andrews was a guest of the board at its regular meeting January 10.
Andrews asked the board to approve both measures – one to authorize the mayor to execute a contract with Clark Patterson Lee for architectural consulting services, and a second to authorize the village attorney to write up a proposed local law regarding a tax abatement component that would encourage property owners to make the conversions.
No village funds will be used, Andrews explained. A grant is paying for the services of Clark Patterson Lee.
“We may be able to get some additional funding,” Andrews added.
