Vacated Dock Street Linked To New Supermarket Site
Middleport Village Council passed an ordinance vacating Dock Street to clear the area for a reported supermarket. Eighteen residents spoke, led by Oliver Street neighbors petitioning to fix a storm sewer causing flooding. The council planned options from diverting water to installing a larger sewer. Shuler Construction was authorized to widen Hudson Street for parking and passing. Discussions on parking meters and lot usage near Rawlings garage prompted traffic committee review. The meeting also considered renting the Elmer Maiden building for equipment storage and a village insurance reclassification. Mayor reported $391.50 in receipts for the month.
