Allegany-Limestone Schools Advance New Bus Entrance Project

Allegany-Limestone Central School District is moving forward with plans to build a new, dedicated bus entrance and exit off Five Mile Road at its middle/high school campus. District officials say the second access point is intended to separate bus traffic from car and pedestrian traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal, improving safety and easing congestion around the building. The project is part of the district's ongoing capital improvements at the Five Mile Road campus. No firm construction start date had been announced as of late June 2026.

Allegany Town Board Adopts New Comprehensive Plan

The Allegany Town Board formally approved a new comprehensive plan in mid-May 2026, capping roughly two years of work by town officials and residents. The document is meant to serve as a guiding framework for future development, land use and infrastructure decisions in the town over the coming years. Town officials described the plan as the product of extensive community input gathered through meetings and public feedback sessions. It replaces an older planning document and is expected to inform zoning and capital-project decisions going forward.
