Leaders in the tiny upstate town of Massena on Monday threw cold water on a castle-owning proprietor's plan to convert his hotel in the heart of their downtown into a migrant shelter.
Gary Melius, who owns the renowned historic Oheka Castle hotel and catering hall in Huntington, Long Island, says his rep reached out to Adams' administration weeks ago to offer his "ideal'' 115-room Quality Inn in Massena in St. Lawrence County near the Canadian border.
A bite-sized look at what we are hearing: The legislative Energy & Technology Committee has asked the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to extend the utility shutoff moratorium designed to help low-income residents pay energy bills to October 31, instead of next month.
Owner Gary Melius may now file an application to build a four-story building with 95 housing units on the property.
The lawsuit claims the town engaged in a “development scheme” in approving the Oheka condo plan to the detriment of the club and its own plans for an adjacent 175-unit condo project.
