JOHNSTOWN The city Planning Board on Tuesday granted a one-year extension on a previously-approved project by Fulton Friendship House to build affordable housing development units off North Perry Street.
Board Chairman Peter K. Smith explained that the agency has a project at 507 N. Perry St.
“Today, we take up an extension,” he said.
Smith said the sale of vacant land for the housing was previously completed by the former owners of the John C. Miller auto dealership to Comet Properties.
“The project has not yet begun construction,” Smith said.
He noted that all the board’s approvals come with a one-year “sunset” provision and Fulton Friendship House didn’t get the project done in a previous timeframe since 2020.
