A Connecticut developer is seeking permission from the Town of Brunswick to construct a 9,100-square-foot Dollar General store on Oakwood Avenue opposite the entrance to Highpointe.
The project plans call for construction at the north end of the existing Diamond Rock Plaza shopping strip at 291 Oakwood Avenue.
A public hearing on Calito Development Group's plans has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, June 5, in Brunswick Town Hall at 336 Town Office Road.
According to a notice from the Brunswick Planning Board -- dated May 20 but not received until today by "all property owners within 300 feet of [the] project site" -- copies of the Calito application and supporting documents "are available at the Brunswick Town Hall, and are available for public inspection during regular business hours. All interested persons will be heard at the public hearing."
Business hours run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to the town's official website.
The person behind the project is Thomas Murley who, in September 2023, made an abortive attempt to make use of part of the same parcel as a school bus depot. A number of Terrace residents testified against the project at a Brunswick Planning Board hearing. Murley eventually withdrew the proposal as he has done over the years with other proposed projects on nearby parcels on both sides of Oakwood Avenue.
The Dollar General chain already includes nearby locations, including one in Lansingburgh (2nd Avenue) less than a 10-minute drive from the proposed Oakwood site, as well as in Latham (Columbia Street Ext.), Mechanicville (Price Chopper Plaza), Hoosick Falls (Route 22), and elsewhere in the Capital Region.
The chain earlier announced plans to shutter more than 100 of its locations this year as part of a company makeover.
