Falls Board Approves Zoning Change for Dentist Office
A public hearing in Falls, N.Y. led to the village board approving a zoning change at 103 Main St from residential to professional business to allow a dentist’s office, with a restriction on approved professions and a call for updating the 1947 ordinance. The meeting also covered grant funding priorities for a senior center, and Mayor Bogardus announced the resignation of Public Works Commissioner Charles Stowell with plans for a special session to seek reconsideration.
