Opportunities abound
A healthcare company is looking at a possible, large expansion in Warren County, as is a food company. The expansions would include well over one hundred people, Jim Siplon, the President of the Warren County Economic Development Corporation told FoothillsBusinessDaily.com. He said much the same during the EDC’s board meeting earlier this week, and did not go much further during the subsequent interview.
“These are opportunities that have been on the [table] for a while,” Siplon said. They are “brushing off after the pandemic.”
As well, a Pennsylvania company is looking to move into the region, he said, adding, “We’re hoping to come to closure.”
Riders up!
The Saddle Up Stables and the Stable Gate Deli were shaking off the dust yesterday and will be opening this year. The property is still for sale, a very nice worker told FoothillsBusinessDaily.com. He added that they could not let it sit quiet all season. (There was no time for a full interview.) He was working to open the stables as another worker removed protective plastic sheeting from the deli building next door. The 118 acre property at 3513 Lake Shore Dr. in Lake George, just south of Diamond Point, is listed for $1.7 million. Howard Hanna has the listing.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Three businesses in the heart of Bolton will hang new signs out front.
Bolton Beans, the railcar diner; Serendipity, the fashion store; and the newly-opening Hillwood Gallery, a gallery of fine art, were given approval to hang the signs by the Town of Bolton’s seven-member Planning Board last night.
The only “Nea” of the night came from John Cushing regarding the Bolton Beans sign, which is going to be four feet in diameter.
Amy Mignot, who said she has owned the diner for six years, told the board that someone in the town told her four feet was an acceptable diameter for a sign.
It is not. Four square feet is an allowable size. A four-foot circle is nearly 12.6 square feet.
Cushing said he feared the sign would look like an old “Esso” or other gas station sign as it will hang over the sidewalk, replacing the current sign. As well, he wondered if people would jump and slap at the sign. Mignot said the bottom edge will be about 11.5 feet off the ground.
