Board votes to allow recovery program at YWCA | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
The city Planning Board voted 4-0 Tuesday night to approve the Gloversville Free Methodist Church’s special use permit and site plan application to allow the Rob Constantine Recovery Community and Outreach Center to move into 33 Bleecker St., site of the former YWCA.
Ginger Cato, the center’s director, was overcome with emotion after the board granted the use permit, which will allow her organization to move from its current location at 86 Briggs St., where the lease is set to expire by the end of April. With tears in her eyes, she explained the impact of being able to move her organization’s “post-recovery group” services to downtown Gloversville.

GLOVERSVILLE The Planning Board will hold a public hearing next month on a special permit application seeking approval for the relocation of the Rob Constantine Recovery Community and Outreach Center’s recovery program to the Center of Hope at 33 Bleecker St.
The Planning Board on Tuesday opened its review of the special permit application submitted by the Gloversville Free Methodist Church seeking approval for a change of occupancy to house the Rob Constantine recovery program in existing office space within the church’s mission and outreach building, the Center of Hope.
The proposed use is allowed under city zoning code in the commercial and downtown urban core form-based overlay zoning districts in which the building is located.
