Lodi council hears plan to join two Medina Street buildings
Will Genkin presented a proposal to the Lodi Village Council to restore the former Independent Order of Odd Fellows building at 110 Medina St. and the adjacent 118 Medina St. He envisions joining the two structures to boost appeal, showing renderings and proposing a two year timeline. A zoning variance was deemed not allowed due to the neighboring house being abandoned for over six months, though Genkin plans to pursue the project if possible. Council member Aaron Surrarrer urged attracting more businesses before any zoning changes.
