Cairo Planning Board members approved a new grocery store, and shopping plaza last week, according to Doron Tyler Antrim in The Daily Mail. “We’re very close to being able to start construction,” Hannaford representative Bill McKenney said at a Cairo Town Board meeting last week, of the store that will be built soon where the Slater's Great American is, on Main St. at Route 32. Early Friday a fire adjacent to the shopping center closed two local businesses. Teller’s Restaurant and Karen’s Flower Shop are both now closed for the forseeable future, according to a report in The Daily Mail.
