OSWEGO, NY – At Monday night’s Planning and Development Committee meeting, Tony Leotta, zoning administrator, requested council approval for a new Best Western Conference Center and parking area located at 26 and 27 E. First St.

The Planning Board has offered a favorable advisory opinion for this project and it complies with the local Waterfront Revitalization Program.

The 33,818-square foot hotel expansion has an estimated $6 million price tag.

It would include a 450-seat conference facility, three smaller ‘breakout’ conference rooms, 18 luxury hotel suites, a 100-seat waterfront restaurant and expanded wellness spa.

One vacant parcel at 24 E. First St. and one fire struck building at 27 E. First St., vacant for more than a year, are the sites developed for the conference center and hotel expansion.

Demolition of the fire-damage restaurant will accommodate parking and auxiliary structures for the hotel and conference center.

The committee sent the proposal to the full council for consideration.

United Way board member Jim Mahoney has announced that the plans are set for the United Way’s Annual ‘Stone Soup’ Holiday Luncheon.

Hannibal Village Market IGA is sponsoring the 12th annual Senior Citizens’ Christmas Luncheon to be held on December 8th, 2009, at the Hannibal Fire Department’s Recreation Hall.
