Jeff Buell of Sequence Development sought the approval of the Hoosick Falls Village Board on Tuesday evening October 14, for his planned development of the former Dougherty corner and adjoining Monahan building. He reiterated his plans for the property as he has done previously at various public meetings. He had drawings of the prospective new building, which will include a “21st century general store” and mezzanine on the first level, two apartments on the second floor and a 1,500 square foot loft apartment on the third floor. The roof will have gardens and a greenhouse. The first floor will be opened to the Monahan building to create more retail floor space. That building will also have a kitchen for a catering service.
