Hannaford will not be building in New Lebanon
Lisa D. Connell reports in the Register-Star that Hannaford will not build the 24,000-square-foot supermarket and pharmacy in New Lebanon that was before the planning board there. We feel it is the best business decision to withdraw our application at this point,” company spokesman Michael Norton wrote in a press release. “We did not take this decision lightly and we appreciate the community support this proposal has received.” In November 2010 Hannaford announced plans to build the store at the Valley Plaza Shopping Center on Route 20, next to the former New Lebanon Supermarket. Northeastern Columbia County has few food options since that store closed. The Department of Environmental Conservation recently signed off on the project, which was moving through the planning board process. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
