The Plymouth Village Council has unanimously approved a zoning change that will allow local business owner Bruce Tanner to turn a renovated Sandusky Street residence into a coffee shop, dubbed The Coffee House. The decision came after a public hearing that drew a large crowd of residents from Plymouth and surrounding communities, with opinions divided on the proposal. While some expressed concerns about pedestrian safety, traffic, and property values, others saw the coffee shop as a welcome addition that would generate revenue and attract visitors. Tanner, who has spent four years renovating the property, valued the community feedback and emphasized the importance of conversation and community building. The approval marks a significant step forward for the project, although the opening date remains unknown.
