NEWFANE, N.Y. — A boutique hotel overlooking Olcott Harbor in Newfane is in the works in Niagara County.
David Hedley, owner of the 70-slip Hedley Boat Co. Inc., wants to build a two-story, 10,000-square-foot complex with 10 hotel rooms. The $5 million project is the first private-sector development in Olcott Harbor since New York state invested $14 million to build a 400-foot-long breakwall to calm the Lake Ontario waters entering the harbor.
“This project would not have happened if (New York State) hadn’t built the breakwall,” Hedley said. “It’s that simple.”
