A local businessman and landscaper has submitted plans to redevelop the site of a former corn canning facility on Pennesseewassee Lake and turn it into a four-season entertainment, event and outdoor sporting venue. Called Lakeside Norway, it was once the home of C.B. Cummings Mill and the Norway Packing Co. and sits along 1,400 feet of lake frontage on the eastern bay of Pennesseewassee Lake. There are seven buildings on the property, which is within the Downtown Gateway Area. The plans include hosting entertainment events, such as live music, festivals, outdoor films and live theater, comedy, meet and greets, educational activities and four-season outdoor recreation such as kayaking and ice skating.
