Road Construction Under Way CANASTOTA Work is now under way in the town on a road connecting Wampsville with Canastota over the old New York Central railroad bed, permitting easy access to the Thruway for residents of Oneida as well as Wampsville.

According to Lenox Highway Supt. Clifford Pickard, crews have been working on construction of one mile of road, from Wampsville west along the former bed of the railroad mainline, that may eventually provide downtown Canastota and the county seat a direct highway. The new highway will be known as Donald Hicks Dew Drive in honor of the Die-molding Corp. founder. Purchased by Djemolding Canastota, from Penn Central three years ago, the 60-foot right-of-way has been deeded over as a gift to the township for developmest as a highway.

A. 20-foot driving surface with shoulder on each side is being constructed this fall and 5 inches; of stone and crusher run is being laid before winter. It will be closed this winter to settle, and stoned and oiled next year. In the spring, a tie-in at Willow Acres with Route 5 will be completed. If negotiations by the township for- purchase of a right-of-way next to the West shore railroad are successful, the road will eventually be continued west to downtown Canastota where it would hook in with Peterboro Street (Route 13) near the vacant Buyea store.

There would-be access to Route 5 at Douglas Heights and Scenic Hills. The township, Pickard said, is using three town trucks and two are, being leased to haul stone and crusher run to the road site this fall.

The president said the corporation owned a parcel of land, approximately, 160 acres, between Court Street, on the east side in Wampsville, arid in a westerly direction behind the site of Dietoolirig and Hubbard I i arid bounded on the south by the old New York Central railroad line and on the north by the present railroad Dew said it was the intent! of the corporation to develop an industrial park, with parcels of five to 10 acres available for industries. The long- range plan also calls for the erection of a shopping center to handle the needs of Wampsville.

and Canastota growth of the area is realized. A road connecting Wampsville with Canastota over the. old railroad bed also was programmed during the 70s which, according to Dew, "will permit easy access to the Thruway for residents of Oneida as well as Wampsville and Canastota." He added that the land par-' eel also would provide expansion room for Dietopling, a division of Diemolding and Hubbard Industries, independent affiliate of the parent firm. Both plants are situated in Wampsville. Dew aidded he was looking forward to the dedication of the proposed Donald Hicks Dew Drive and to the success of the real estate plans.
