GLOVERSVILLE After hearing from an extensive list of supporters and opponents of a proposed code blue shelter in the former YWCA building on Bleecker Street and following a lengthy deliberation on city code provisions, the Zoning Board of Appeals upheld the determination by the building inspector that the shelter is not allowed under city zoning code. The ZBA went on in their decision to provide shelter organizers the opportunity to amend their application in search of a variance to potentially advance the project.
