A Shrub Oak resident complained about the condition of the abandoned building in the shopping center that once housed a tire company and that he said was a stain on the neighborhood. Supervisor Grace said there was little the Town could do to correct the situation, other than incentivizing the property to redevelop the site.
 
5. Winery
The Board approved a six month temporary certificate of occupancy for the Winery. Supervisor Grace said that the TCO could be extended if the work isn’t finished in 6 months.
