Gas station would be located at Wolf Road and Route 30.
A new Speedway gas station may be headed for Oswego near the intersection of Wolf Road and Route 30. The only issue with the proposal is that part of that land is in Aurora.

Village officials have had several meetings with counterparts in Aurora, said Zenner, and they’re in discussion to have the back third annexed to the Village of Oswego.
