A proposed $38 million, 74-unit housing development by Lakeview Health Services in downtown Geneva is facing growing skepticism, according to the Finger Lakes Times. The city’s Planning Board extended the public hearing process another month amid concerns about the project’s size and impact.
The development would include affordable and mental health housing, plus office space, but residents worry it’s too large for the site, lacks adequate parking, and could strain downtown resources. Business owners and locals expressed fears about loitering, congestion, and whether this location is appropriate for such a concentrated population.
Lakeview says it’s open to modifications but stresses the importance of providing safe, supportive housing for vulnerable residents.
