Residents in Rome are seeking to preserve the former West Rome School building a structure they say is historic from being torn down to make way for a car wash.
Hoffmann Development of Albany is looking to build a 6,400-square-foot car wash on the 1.93-acre site at 1315 Erie Boulevard West. The proposal, which is making its way through Rome’s Planning Board, would include three queuing lanes for the car wash and 13 vacuum parking spaces, according to board documentation.
The possible destruction of the former school house does not sit well with numerous city residents, including local resident Bill Rapke, who started a petition to save the building. The petition is in the process of being presented to the Planning Board.
