The town planning fee has authorized a mission to assemble a constructing at a vacant downtown Binghamton web site for a brand new bar.
Former mayor Richard David intends to open a enterprise he describes as a “beer backyard” on property he owns a few blocks from Metropolis Corridor.
The Royal Lounge and an grownup bookstore have been positioned on the mission web site at 138-140 Washington Road. The property has been unused because it was cleared following a fireplace on December 31, 1999.
David purchased the location for $50,000 in July 2009 earlier than he grew to become mayor. He has mentioned the brand new enterprise could be housed in a two-story prefabricated constructing. The location can’t be seen from Washington Road due to a picket fence alongside its west aspect.
