Village Planners Drill Down

Into Concepts For New CVS

The Cooperstown Village Planning Board spent more than two hours this afternoon reviewing details of CVS Healthcare’s plans for a drive-thru pharmacy at Chestnut and Beaver, the site of the former Cooperstown Motel.  Issues discussed ranged from sidewalk configuration to landscaping – for instance, whether small or tall trees would be preferable, and whether ornamental grasses on the Chestnut side would be sufficient to block headlights from shining off-site.  Participating, from left, are board members Joe Membrino and Richard Blabey, ZEO Jane Gentile, and board chair Gene Berman.  CVS is expected to close on the motel site any day.  (Emily Murphy/AllOTSEGO.com)
