It's finally approved! The first Capital Region Costco is a go near Crossgates Mall. It has been a three-year battle but the last part of the process has been approved!
The plan to build a Costco Wholesale store near Crossgates Mall has been in the works for three years. There has been a lot of resistance and red tape but now there is a major development that could get the wholesale store built.
The Capital Region is one step closer to building a Costco near Crossgates Mall. A state appeals court heard a case brought by the Save the Pine Bush environmental group. They made their ruling.
It seems like we may never get a Costco in the Capital Region. The plans have been submitted and construction was supposed to begin but there are a lot of residents and a non-profit that have raised concerns. Just recently there was another meeting, this time in front of an appeals panel.
