After Shurfine shut down in February, Byrne Dairy wants to turn the site into a gas station — but Weedsport residents are pushing back, according to The Citizen.
Locals flooded a recent public hearing, forcing it to be rescheduled. Many, like Wendy Cleary, want a new grocery store instead and are urging Aldi to consider the spot.
Byrne Dairy says it’s improved other towns by offering produce and deli options. But some residents argue Weedsport already has enough gas stations — and still desperately needs a place to buy groceries.
