Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C-Batavia) recognized Lift Bridge Book Shop on July 8 for its induction into the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry. The shop, which opened its doors in 1972, has been a staple of the community, starting as a small store for paperbacks and bestsellers and becoming a hub for new and used books, toys, games, and art supplies. Hawley is proud to be able to bestow this honor upon the Lift Bridge Book Shop and is grateful for its contributions to the community for over 50 years.
“For decades, the Lift Bridge Book Shop has served as a gathering place for our community,” said Hawley. “Since the day they first opened shop, they’ve been committed to enriching the lives of everyone who walks through their doors. I’m proud to recognize this incredible local business for its induction into the Historic Business Preservation Registry and thank the Lift Bridge team for their lasting impact in Brockport and beyond.”
John and Sarah Bonczyk said, “We are incredibly grateful for this special moment for the bookstore. This would not be possible without the founding owners and continuous supporters, Archie and Pat Kutz. In addition, much thanks to Village of Brockport manager Erica Linden for nominating us and helping us through the whole process.”…
