Petition to oppose the location of a Dollar General in the West Henrietta Hamlet

We the undersigned residents of the Town of Henrietta would like to express our concern and dismay to the Henrietta Town Board at the building of a Dollar General Store in the historic Hamlet of West Henrietta. This four corner area represents a significant part of the history of our town. The surrounding buildings of the proposed site are all 100-150 years old. In addition the New York State Department of Historic Preservation states "the subject property is directly adjacent to 5711 West Henrietta Road which is eligible for listing in the State and National Historic Registers of Historic Places. Additionally this property is within the boundary of a potential West Henrietta Historic District which is eligible for listing as one of the earliest settlement areas in Henrietta with an intact setting and many contributing 19th century buildings." We feel this commercial property would adversely impact the character and history of this unique hamlet and urge the Town Board to recommend a more appropriate site.
