SHELBURNE — The new owners of the former Singley Furniture building will come to the Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday, April 7, for a public hearing on their request to raze the old building and replace it with a new structure on the corner of Bridge Street and Deerfield Avenue. The hearing begins at 8:15 p.m.
Building owners Josh Simpson, Cady Coleman, Susan and Jon Stark, doing business as Ancient Glacier LLC, bought the building at auction over a year ago, but found the old, deteriorated structure to be beyond repair. The group is seeking permission to take down the three-story building on the non-conforming lot and use the building footprint to build a new, two-story structure that would have retail shops on the first floor and apartments on the second floor.
