A New Way To Pay At Hoffman Car Wash
By Doug La Rocque
A redesign of the entrance into the full service car wash and the installation of automated pay stations garnered the approval of the Brunswick Planning Board on Thursday, April 4. The company was back before the Board that evening with the final details of the changes that they say have proven at other locations to speed up the traffic flow. They hope by this means to eliminate the backup of vehicles along the side of the car wash turning in off Hoosick Road (Route 7). At the previous meeting, the Planning Board agreed that the changes to the site plan were minor, and no public hearing was required. The Board also agreed there was no environmental impact created by the modifications.
