SCHOHARIE — The village of Schoharie has seen significant growth over the last several years, and it’s starting to show. Last month saw the ribbon cutting of three new businesses on Main Street, Dry A.F., Schoharie Mercantile, and Savage Scoops.
The recent Comprehensive Plan survey received feedback about the number of storefronts in Schoharie’s business district.
In addition to the new businesses, Schoharie saw a number of other recent bright spots. This includes the popular Greek Gyros Schoharie, the expansion of Schoharie Dental, Smile Cross, Love Shine Tea, and Farmers Beef and Brew. Farmers Beef and Brew is undergoing a significant expansion that will move it toward the Old Stone Fort.
The recent growth joins a number of well-established businesses that are seeing considerable success in the community, including several law offices, El Taco Shack, Your Way Cafe, Country Cafe, Paisano’s, Rejuvenate Therapeutic Massage, the Bank of Richmondville, Zeke’s Auto Repair, Creekside Sports, New Slate Fitness, Your Worth It, Country Monkey Thrift, J. Lacy Salon, Clapper’s Glass Bar, Wolfe’s Den, Guernsey’s Nursey, Schoharie County Kayak Rentals, Maple’s Estate, Schoharie Valley Wine and Liquor, Mimi’s Posey Place, Tweek’d Boutique, Main Attractions Salon, and Generations Vintage.
In addition, the former bank on Main Street became SEEC.
Much of the growth occurred over the last several years, including significant cooperation between the village and the business community. The public is encouraged to get involved with the current Comprehensive Plan Committee, which aims to chart Schoharie’s Future. The May 23 and 30th open houses were successful and showed significant participation. There is another public open forum meeting planned for later this summer.
