More input wanted on Huron project
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
The Buffalo Planning Board has tabled its vote on a proposal to renovate the historic former Hotel Huron into apartments.
The decision to table its vote after the planning board, during its meeting Tuesday morning, heard a number of concerns from residents who neighbor the W. Huron Street project. Many of those concerns centered on parking and lack of input from the neighbors.
The planning board may vote on the project next month.
Kissling Interests, which has a deep resume of renovating older properties and turning them into residential units and lofts, is proposing to renovate the long-vacant three-story building into eight, market-rate apartments. Kissling has retained Carmina Wood & Morris, a Buffalo architecture and engineering firm, to handle the project.
The project carries a $1.1. million development price tag.
