LOWVILLE — The Lewis County Planning Board signed off on plans for two new stores proposed in the village Thursday.

Board members recommended proposals from North Country Ag LLC, Seneca Falls, to build a 60-by-72-foot farm equipment and feed store off Ross Road next to Tractor Supply and from Valentine Stores Inc., Watertown, which plans to build a 90-by-50-foot Nice N Easy store with a five-station gas pump island on Utica Boulevard at the former Lighthouse Restaurant and Motel site.

Approvals for both projects were contingent on receiving variances from the village Zoning Board of Appeals.

Assuming that happens over the next couple of weeks, the village Planning Board may hold public hearings and handle the final review of both projects at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the municipal office on Bostwick Street.
