Aurora to get new bed and breakfast

AURORA #- The village of Aurora planning board voted unanimously to grant a special permit to an application from the Aurora Foundation to turn Abbott House, located on Main Street, into a bed and breakfast.

“Personally, when I go through the village I see a lot of places turning into bed and breakfasts,” planning board member Grace Bates said. “I think it is changing the character of the village. But I can't say no if it fits into the requirements.”

Pleasant Rowland originally purchased the property in 2001 and submitted an application in 2003 to turn the 30-room lakeside mansion into a bed and breakfast, but the initial permits lapsed after a year.
