AMHERST, N.Y. — Town of Amherst Supervisor Brian Kulpa said he's "ecstatic" that movement is being made in the plan to makeover the former Westwood Country Club into what will be known as Amherst Central Park.
The acreage at the former Westwood Country Club has sat undeveloped for years, but now Supervisor Kulpa said remediation efforts could begin as soon as this summer after New York State Department of Environmental Conservation permits are granted.
