Applicant proposes 12 indoor grow rooms at Penn Yan warehouse; board flags no countywide impact
Summary
Northeast Extracts LLC seeks to convert a vacant warehouse at 38 Powell Lane in Penn Yan into 12 two-story indoor grow rooms. Applicant said state permits are pending; the Yates County Planning Board voted that the referral has no significant countywide impact under GML 239.
Northeast Extracts LLC proposed converting a vacant warehouse at 38 Powell Lane in Penn Yan into 12 indoor grow rooms in a two-story layout. Justis Freville, who presented the project, told the board that the company is local and that "Project is still in process of getting state permits." The applicant said there are no planned exterior changes beyond those required by permit authorities.
Board members discussed permitting status and potential external impacts before taking GML 239 action. Steven Fulkerson moved and Edward Gilman seconded that the application as presented "has no significant countywide impact"; the board approved the motion. The board recorded abstentions by Sarah Purdy, Steven Hullings and Larry Strickland during the vote discussion. The action means the county planning board did not identify issues that require county-level review; local permitting and state approvals remain necessary.
