City Planning Board to review DeSales project Monday

By DAVID L. SHAW

GENEVA — The city Planning Board will meet Monday night, and a review of Massa Construction Inc.’s proposal to convert DeSales High School into 15 apartments is part of its two-pronged agenda.

The 7 p.m. session will be conducted via Zoom teleconferencing. Anyone interested in commenting on the plan must register for a 3-minute block of time by emailing leb@geneva.ny.us.

Planners will review the Geneva-based company’s plans for the building at 90 Pulteney St.; it operated for 100 years until closing in 2014. Nick Massa, a former DeSales student, bought the property from Our Lady of Peace Parish in 2018 for $380,000.

Massa’s proposal calls for seven first-floor and eight second-floor apartments. There would be one- and two-bedroom units ranging in size from 932 to 1,632 square feet. Tenant storage would be in the basement, and an elevator would be installed on the north side. There would be extensive exterior renovations and upgrades, along with a new parking lot.
