The proposed Planned Parenthood clinic reportedly would have been established and operational by 2023.
"We were originally looking for space in the Brighton-Henrietta area, and we identified a location in Brighton to put a building, but they decided they were going to have to completely demolish the building and rebuild it," Planned Parenthood of Central & Western New York CEO Michelle Casey told local outlet WHEC 10. "And so the cost escalation from just remodeling to completely demolishing and building the building made it cost-prohibitive for us to move in there."
