Construction is underway on a mixed-use building at the edge of Sterling Avenue in Greenport, but an outstanding question remains: How should the 15,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space be used?
It’s now in the hands of the village Planning Board to decide.
Developer Paul Pawlowski has proposed subdividing the first floor into 12 individual units that could either be used as a private yacht club, art studio or gallery.
“It’s in a large space and we’re trying to pitch something that’s sustainable and in keeping with the code,” Mr. Pawlowski said during a Planning Board meeting Thursday, adding that those uses would also have a relatively low impact on the residential area.
