Once the weather breaks, renovation of the former movie theater adjacent to the City Centre will get underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the word from Ken Mistler, owner of the facility at 6 Alva Place, who has building permits in hand after submitting applications to the City of Batavia Planning & Development Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest approval came this week and covers exterior changes to the structure located within the Central Commercial District. Since it is a Type II action defined by Environmental Conservation Law, Mistler\u2019s request was not subject to a State Environmental Quality Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs far as the exterior is concerned, we\u2019ll be putting in a new glass and metal panel storefront where the overhang is, installing a handicapped accessible ramp on the outside and placing a new door on the north side \u2013 the former exit door which will become the main entrance,\u201d Mistler said on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In late July, Mistler secured a building permit for interior work \u2013 including a new bathroom and kitchen, electrical upgrades and raising approximately 1,045 square feet of flooring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistler\u2019s plan for The Bowery is to provide a full beverage entertainment center featuring a stage with stadium seating for viewing live performances from music to stand-up comedy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On another front, Mistler said apartments at the Carrs Reborn building on Main Street are available at a lower monthly rent than originally announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe (he and partner Pete Zeliff) recalculated the square footage and are able to lower the rent,\u201d he said, adding that rent for the two-bedroom apartments has been reduced to $2,100 per month and rent for the one-bedroom units has been reduced to $1,900 per month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
