We are pleased to announce that the formation of the East Aurora Downtown Historic District has been approved and is now entering its final stage. According to Clinton Brown, our consultant who led this project, the final step will be listing the district on the National Register of Historic places. This process typically takes three to six months.

As business and property owners in the village and town, we are strong advocates for historic preservation, restoration, and reuse. We are proud that this designation will bring greater recognition to our community and look forward to the opportunities it may create for growth in tourism, business, and community pride.

Thank you to all the town and village officials, as well as the Historic Preservation Commission, for their support throughout this project. We hope this achievement is a spark for future preservation efforts and other historic initiatives across the community.

The district description states:

East Aurora Downtown Historic District, East Aurora, Erie County ─ The East Aurora Downtown Historic District features a distinctive collection of buildings associated with the nineteenth and twentieth century retail, wholesale, and service economy of the region. The district includes grocery, hardware, clothing, wholesale, medical and dental offices, veterinary hospital, barber, and other businesses, as well as the regionally known Vidler’s five-and-dime. Notable historic resources include two grain elevator and feed mill businesses, a brick building that served as the cheese warehouse for Richardson-Beebe Company Dairy Products, a 1920s Mission Revival Mobil Oil station, two historic banks, and the Globe Hotel, parts of which date to the 1820s. The historic office of the East Aurora Advertiser, around since the 1880s, reflects the district’s longstanding role as a business and civic center. Together, these resources document the evolution of downtown East Aurora as a commercial hub in Erie County.

As we receive further information, we will continue to share updates.

Last night, Carner Development Group’s owner and team presented our plans for the historic Twin Elms Estate. The Planning Board unanimously voted that the Town Board approve the special use permit and site plan.

We appreciate the public’s feedback and will continue refining our plans to ensure they comply with the town code. We will maintain collaboration with the building department and code enforcement to ensure all development remains within the boundaries of the Agricultural District.

The next step in the process is for the Town Board to schedule a public hearing on the proposed project. In addition to that hearing, Carner Development Group is holding a public informational meeting for interested community members on May 12th, at 6pm at The Bank of East Aurora. We welcome community input and engagement as this process moves forward.

Press Release

Twin Elms Estate Glampground – Special Use Permit Submission Information

Carner Development Group initially went to the zoning board for approval in 2025 for a boutique hotel and event venue. That process required a zoning change that was ultimately not approved. While that was a setback, we strongly believe in the restoration and repurposing of this property and continued to look at alternatives for redevelopment.

After looking at the allowed uses per the town code, three options were presented for preliminary review to the planning board. One was a RV Campground, one was a Multi-Unit Housing Development, and one was a Glamping Campground Retreat utilizing the existing business Cardea Health as a wellness partner.

The Planning Board showed preference for the Glampground/ Campground Retreat over the other two proposed projects. A Special Use Permit has been formally submitted for a Wellness Glamping Campground Retreat. This is an allowed use under code. This is not a zoning change request.

We do believe in transparency and that those with concerns should always be heard. That’s what makes our community stronger. We are holding a public information meeting at The Bank of EA on May 12th to provide insight, clarity, and transparency. The event information can be found on our page, our website, and have a sign going up at Twin Elms Estate to make sure our non-digital neighbors are aware.

Redevelopment is always a tricky subject. As lifelong residents, We understand the need to ensure redevelopment is done thoughtfully and without dramatically changing the fabric of a community. We welcome constructive feedback and comments and will continue to work with the necessary Town Boards to move this project forward.

Sincerely,
Rachel Krajewski
President Carner Development Group
