“We’re trying to reenvision something that is going to be there for a very long time, and adding those details to make it feel more welcoming in our community would really be wonderful,” Sartori said.

“We’re looking at this project not as what do I want to do but as a collaboration between what’s good for me and what’s good for the village,” Lubrano said.

“Whatever suggestions, recommendations or priorities you have, we are open to them.”

Joel Harris, a Mineola Chamber of Commerce member alongside Lubrano, said he was a proponent of the project and allowing people to use what Jericho Turnpike has to ofer.

“Although it is unfortunate we are losing Piccola Bussola, I am happy about bringing people onto Jericho that will have the opportunity to utilize the stores that are already there,” Harris said. “I think this will be a very nice project for Mineola.”
