Genesee Brewing says it's rethinking its plans to construct a new alehouse and museum on Cataract Street in High Falls.
This after the city's Preservation Board last night voted to nominate properties there for landmark designation.
North American Breweries CEO Rich Lozyniak says they're disappointed the Board’s decision compromises an important project.
He says his company is now evaluating if the proposed Genesee Brew House project is economically viable, because of the time and resources needed to fight those who oppose it.
Lozyniak says opponents value a decayed building that needs millions of dollars of repairs over community revitalization and sustainability.
