FORMER FACTORY SITE MAY BECOME AN APARTMENT COMPLEX

03-14-09 - A developer is moving ahead with plans to build a "large" apartment complex on the site of the former V & O Press on Route 66 in Greenport. 
 
Harbalwant Singh, owner of the former factory, said on Friday he is moving ahead with his plan to construct an apartment complex on the site. He declined to provide details but said he would present his plans to the Town Planning Board in the near future.  

  

The architect for the project listed with the Town of Greenport is Dennis Wedlick, whose Hudson River Studio is located on North Fourth Street in Hudson. Singh is a commercial real estate broker in Lake Katrine (Ulster County). 

Town Planning Board Chairman Don Alger told ccSCOOP that Singh first approached the Planning Board last month with a tentative proposal for a large apartment complex to be developed at the former factory site. 


Planning Board Secretary Beth MacGiffert said that no formal plans have been submitted as of yet and Singh is not currently on the agenda for the March 24 meeting of the Planning Board. 

The V & O Press, which closed in 1988, manufactured drill presses and metal products that were sold internationally.

Town Clerk Kathleen Bucholsky said the factory has been vacant since its closing and "no one had expressed any interest in the site until now."
