CELORON – Celoron residents who have been wishing for a new restaurant along the lake are in luck.
On Thursday, the Celoron Village Board approved a special-use permit for David VanNess to re-establish a restaurant along Chautauqua Lake. VanNess’ restaurant will be the Harbor Grill. It will be located at 142 Boulevard Ave., Celoron, which was the former location of Mariner’s Pier.
VanNess said he has been in the restaurant business for more than two decades and is looking forward to operating the new restaurant.
‘‘The community has been asking for it. This area is booming,’’ he said. ‘‘I enjoy the restaurant business. I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 20 years, and I look forward to getting started.’’
VanNess said he hopes to have the restaurant opened by the Fourth of July holiday. He said once he receives his liquor license from the state, he will open the restaurant.
Prior to the board approving the special use permit there was a public hearing where two people spoke. VanNess thanked the board for their consideration for the special use permit and Celoron resident Gerald Ray said he likes the idea for a restaurant in the community once again.
