COOPERSTOWN – The Village Board, at a noontime work session today, reached consensus on expanding downtown paid parking to three more streets:

• Fair Street, between Main and Lake

• The length of Church Street, behind the Baseball Hall of Fame

• River Street, between Main and the Bassett Clinic

The trustees aim to be prepared at their January meeting on the 26 to set a public hearing for the following month on a local law to enable the expansion.

Trustee Lou Allstadt estimated the expansion, which will require eight new Pay & Display machines, will generate $100,000 in the upcoming season.  “We should easily make enough in the season to cover the investment, and then some.”

For full details, see this week’s Freeman’s Journal, on newsstands Wednesday afternoon.
