Throughout the year, the town's close supervisor race was run amid designs to zone areas in the town for businesses and a long wait for postal services to return to the hamlet.
What's old is new again. Walkable communities, where businesses and homes are clustered together, can thrive again with proper zoning. The Knox Town board should approve a business district in the hamlet.
Councilman Nicholas Viscio suggested the board schedule a hearing on the district because he had news from the postal service, which left town nine months ago.
Chairman Robert Price said the planning board still has to agree on a proposed change to the buffer that would separate business districts from residential areas.
