A former Washington County grocery store property tainted for decades  
by toxic PCBs will be cleaned up and reborn as a new Market 32  
grocery store for the Schenectady-based Golub Corp.

Plans call for the new 40,000-square-foot supermarket, located on  
about six acres on Broadway in Fort Edward near the General Electric  
capacitor plant, to be open by Thanksgiving 2016, said town  
Supervisor Mitch Suprenant. The property used to be a Grand Union,  
which operated from 1980 to 2003.
