A developer wants to build 116 townhomes in the town of Canandaigua, under what’s been dubbed the Canandaigua Shores project.
Local residents are mounting a serious campaign against it, though.
ATL Contractors is the developer behind the 82-unit Keuka Shores development in Penn Yan. They’re going through the process now to receive preliminary approvals for construction of townhomes on property south of Finger Lakes Community College- located across from Otetiana Point on State Route 364.
A public hearing will take place on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
There’s high-demand for housing across the Finger Lakes- as the real estate market remains red hot. Meanwhile, Canandaigua, Farmington, and Victor have seen their own boom happening parallel to the housing shortage.
‘No Canandaigua Shores’ signs line yards in the area. Hundreds have signed a petition opposing the project.
Traffic, drainage, more residents, and lack of green space are all concerns raised by those who oppose the project.
