saratoga county

It is the end of an era at a Saratoga County restaurant. It has been in my hometown for nearly 60 years and suddenly on December 29th, a post on the door and a Facebook message made it official.

They have broken ground to start building the fourth Druthers Brewing Company location in the Capital Region. Located in Clifton Park, it will be the second in Saratoga County.

There is a big dam problem that is affecting the Mechanicville water supply.

The Capital Region is proud of its towns, hamlets, villages, and cities no matter how large or small. If you asked anyone in the area to tell you what city they think was a top small city that made the list of the best in the United States, I think most people would say the same one. Now a poll is out that just proves it to the whole country.

The Capital Region has been a hotbed lately for New York Lottery's Take 5 winners. The latest winner comes from Saratoga County and I am convinced that it's just a matter of time until I am cashing in a Take 5 winning ticket. I have to admit I was a bit bummed it wasn't me when I found out where the ticket was sold.

Thousands of jobs are coming to Saratoga County because there are plans to build another semi-conductor fabrication plant in Malta. GlobalFoundries announced that it will begin building the plant at its Fab 8 campus. This project will bring thousands of jobs with the construction and infrastructure of the plant.

It seems as if they have been building the new Trader Joe's in Halfmoon for a very long time. Well, now we have word that Trader Joe's will be opening up before the end of the year. It will be nice to not have to drive down to Wolf Road to get the great items from one of our favorite grocery stores.

There is another lucky Take 5 winner in the Capital Region. This time in Saratoga County. I play Take 5 regularly now because it seems that there are more winners every day in this particular game in our area. I also live in Saratoga County now and I believe the winning ticket will be mine soon after hearing about the latest winner.

The Capital Region has had our fair share of big payout Take 5 winners in recent months, and another jackpot winner popped on Thursday night and it was sold in Saratoga County.   So check your Take 5 lottery ticket, you might be be sitting on some pretty serious money right now, and not even know it. A new pool, start up a business, make a down payment on a new house, take a two week cruise throug

There is another boost coming to Saratoga County. GlobalFoundries has decided that it will be officially moving its main headquarters from the west coast to Malta, NY. This is a huge win, not only for Malta but for Saratoga County and all of New York state.

It is finally official. There will be a second Trader Joe's location in the Capital Region in Halfmoon. We have been speculating that one would be built in Saratoga County and we have now got confirmation that the construction that is going on in the area off of Route 9 behind the Red Robin is in fact a Trader Joe's.

There is another casualty to the coronavirus pandemic. This time it's a beloved indoor sports venue in Saratoga County. The Sportsplex of Halfmoon has officially closed its doors forever.
