Proposal for 40-unit housing project in Albion goes before County Planning Board next week
ALBION – An organization proposing a 40-unit housing project on Liberty Street in Albion is seeking the Orleans County Planning Board’s support for the project.
DePaul Community Services, Inc. wants to build the project between the railroad tracks and Beaver Street in Albion. DePaul needs to remove three houses that are on that section of Liberty Street to make room for the housing project.
DePaul’s application for variances and a site plan review will go before the County Planning Board at 7 p.m. on June 28.
The 40-unit residential project is at 150 S. Liberty St. in Residential (R-3) District.
The Planning Board meets at the County Administration Building, 14016 Route 31 West in Conference Room C.
