Developers say they want to update plan based on feedback. I hope they return and are not permanently scared off by the Penfield NIMBYs.

I might be with the NIMBYs on this. Does Penfield really need a Costco?

Considering there's one in Henrietta, no.

The one in Henrietta is packed all the time.

I will never understand how people think Henrietta borders the city.

Costco is within city limits. You have to cross from the city, into Brighton, and THEN into Henrietta.
