route 85A

A mixed-use development planned for the center of town proceeded as one resident told the planning board the buildings don’t fit New Scotland’s rural character.

NEW SCOTLAND — An application for a mixed-use development off of Route 85A and Route 85, near the site of the old Bender Melon farm, was again tabled at the planning board meeting last Tuesday.

The Hilton Barn was slowly moved from its original location to a piece of land across from Route 85A on March 29th in New Scotland.

New Scotland is beginning its search for a consultant to help make its idea of a hamlet center a reality.

Construction will have a small section of Route 85A closed this weekend. It will close Saturday morning and reopen Sunday evening.
