The Greece Town Board denied a permit application by the owners of Jeremiah's Tavern to build a new location on Long Pond Road.

Residents in the Northampton Condo Community had voiced opposition to having Jeremiah's tavern at the site of a former child care center.

They raised concerns about an increase in traffic and the proximity to Greece Athena High School. 

Residents say the community is primarily made up of retired senior citizens and that a loud bar and restaurant did not seem appropriate.
