Statement from Senator Catharine Young on RESTORE NY Funding:
“Redevelopment of the Burrous Building is a project that I have been supportive of for a long time. The building is a landmark property in the village, and its revitalization will breathe new life into downtown Wellsville. I have been an advocate for this locally-driven project because it will continue Wellsville’s Main Street development efforts, creating new opportunities and attracting private investment. The $500,000 state investment will allow for work to progress without further burdening the local taxpayers,” said Senator Young.
