A new fueling station is forecast to occupy space where a former truck stop was located at the Amity exit on I-86. According to a report in The Spectator, it will be operated by Quicklee’s — a fueling station and convenience store founded in Avon in 1995 that now operates about 20 branches across upstate New York — and is heavily involved in making the Crossroads its first location in Allegany County. A ground-breaking is anticipated either next month or October.
Hopes continue that a 101-bed hotel will also locate at the site. That news was delivered at Wednesday’s Allegany County Planning and Economic Development Committee meeting. According to The Spectator, the public will have the opportunity to weigh in on the IDA’s deal with the developer at a public hearing scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. at the county’s Crossroads facility. The Industrial Development Agency is looking to establish a payment in lieu of taxes to hep move the deal. Read more from The Spectator.
