Dear Marcellus Residents:
This is an update regarding the Moratorium that is in place in the Village Center district while we continue working on updates to our Village Code and Comprehensive Plan.
The Board of Trustees has been communicating with Stewart’s Shops, as well as residents, local elected officials, non-Village residents who shop in the Village, and Village business owners to keep working towards a successful resolution of the vacancy issue at the site of Nojaims.
After meeting with Stewart’s this week to review the moratorium exception application submitted by Nojaims, a public hearing has been set for Monday, March 25th at 7:00pm at Marcellus High School Auditorium. This step is in accordance with the current law stating that exception applications require a public hearing.
We appreciate all input from the community thus far during this transformational change in our Village Center. We are confident that a resolution is close to completion. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Village Board of Trustees

Dear residents of Marcellus:
There are many misunderstandings and inaccuracies resulting from last evening’s (2/21) meeting we want to clear up.
This letter is to address the situation regarding the Moratorium impacting the sale of Nojaim’s to Stewart’s Shops. The Moratorium is NOT to stop the opening of Stewart’s Shops in the Village. The Moratorium will pause the process in order to look at every facet of this situation, ascertain all possible issues and complications, and work to effectively address them, taking into account ALL Village resident’s concerns. While there is a very vocal group calling for the immediate approval of Stewart’s to take over the space vacated by Nojaim’s, there are also Village residents reaching out to the Village Board with legitimate questions and concerns about this change. This Moratorium is not written in stone, and can be lifted at any time as this transition unfolds and concerns arise and are resolved.
This is obviously, and deservedly, an emotional issue. Nojaim’s will be greatly missed by everyone, and we all know of Rich Nojaim’s benevolence towards the Marcellus community. But our primary responsibility, as Board members, is to the future of the Village. And to usher in the next step with thoughtfulness. We have NO motive to STOP progress. We live here, raise our families here, and treasure our friends and neighbors. No one, contrary to word on the street, desires Rich Nojaim to be unable to retire. Period.
What we are looking for is a win/win situation for ALL parties - the business owners, the taxpayers of the village, and residents of the Town who shop in the Village. That is also keeping in mind the future progress of the Village. This change will be long lasting, and will impact so many levels of Village life. We endeavor to make sure this is done in the most thorough and informed manner for residents and their families.
In the midst of great division on the national and state levels, we ask that we treat each other with civility here in Marcellus. This is a nuanced issue, with many more parts than just the emotional components of the loss of a beloved part of Marcellus life, gas pumps in the Village center, a possibly abandoned building, and Rich Nojaim’s ability to retire. We ask that you allow the process to work, ensuring a successful resolution.
The Moratorium, while not conducive to Nojaim’s and Stewart’s timeline, offers the opportunity for the Village Board and its advisors to hear and understand all stakeholders’ concerns, and be part of ensuring the Marcellus experience endures for everyone.
Respectfully,
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Marcellus
