GLOVERSVILLE The city Planning Board on Tuesday night approved a project for a new Hoffman Car Wash on South Kingsboro Avenue following a public hearing at City Hall.
Construction may begin later this summer.
Board consultant Sean Geraghty said Wednesday that approval of a subdivision and site plan related to the car wash on former Travis Diner property was given to the Hoffman Development Corp.
The firm approached the board last month with its site plan.
“The property is being subdivided,” Geraghty said. “It will be right through the lot.”
He said the diner building won’t be demolished and will be kept intact in case a future developer wants to turn it into a restaurant again.
