The Town Board voted unanimously at its July 12 meeting to approve a special exemption permit for a drive-thru facility for 6031 Transit Road, with the condition that the board will have final approval of the tenant.

Supervisor Patrick Casilio reaffirmed that the Town Board sought to implement a level of control with a project that could prove to have substantial traffic ramifications.
