WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The West Seneca Town Board has rejected an expansion proposal from Kloc's Grove to add short-term rental properties.
The board voted 3 to 1 on Monday to deny the plans for the popular event center located in the Southtowns. Many people who live near the facility on Seneca Creek Road have voiced concerns that the expansion would disrupt their quiet neighborhood.
The plan to add the short-term rental properties and the opposition from residents is a story we have been following for months.
In November 2025, we spoke with Mike Harmon and Chris Owczarczak, who have lived in the neighborhood for decades and were leading the opposition.

Later in November, residents attended a town board meeting to voice their opposition, and the board ultimately tabled the plan.
The project was then tabled by the town board twice in February, and then in March, it set the April 27 vote.
