TOWN OF WRIGHT REVIEWS DOLLAR GENERAL PLANS

On Friday, Wright town planning officials will look over site plans for Primax real estate to build a Dollar General on state Highway 443. Such plans are currently in the midst of a state-mandated environmental review process. A number of residents have voiced dissent over the project, convinced it would damage the aesthetic of the countryside landscape, create logistical challenges and allow a corporate giant to take advantage of open land. Proponents of the site view it as an opportunity to open up retail access and expand the tax base.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE RETURNS

St. Patrick’s Day comes to Albany early this year, with the city’s popular parade set for Saturday. 

It’ll start at 2 p.m. on Central Avenue at Quail Street and will proceed east on Central to Washington Avenue and then east onto State Street. It ends on James Street. 

The parade will be led by Grand Marshal Kathleen Stevens, an Albany native who has been attending the parade since 1957 and is vice president of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians JFK Division. For more information, visit albanystpatricksdayparade.com.
