Plans call for propane storage tanks on former Bonnie Castle Stables property

WWNY · last updated

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) — Plans have emerged for a portion of the former Bonnie Castle Stables property in the town of Alexandria, with a gas company proposing to install two large propane storage tanks on the site.

Gardner Gas, which operates Heller’s Gas in Watertown, is planning to place two propane storage tanks on the property. Each tank would hold 50,000 gallons of fuel. The tanks would allow the company to fill delivery trucks and serve customers along the St. Lawrence River.

Plans are submitted with various planning boards including Jefferson County.

Repeated attempts to reach Gardner Gas for comment did not result in a response.

Town officials said they hope the remainder of the property will be developed into something recreational for the community.

The Bonnie Castle Stables property, which once featured an ice rink, was a gathering place in the town before being sold at auction in 2024.
