As work continues on Phase 1 of the $64.1 million Hornell Gateway Corridor on state Route 36, the city's Industrial Development Agency is finalizing plans for a brand new street that will further complement the project. The short street will connect Route 36 to Shawmut Drive, passing by the new Real Clean Car Wash at 215 Hornell St. "It goes from 36 down to Shawmut Drive and intersects Hornell Street," said IDA executive director Mike Nisbet.

You can actually go into the car wash from either one of those places, from 36 or from Shawmut Drive and Thacher Street." The project has been in the works for several years .
