Got this press release in my inbox today:

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.  —  Construction is underway on a new Tractor Supply Company store in Greenwich, the company’s 65th New York location. (Tractor Supply has a store in Saratoga Springs off Weibel Ave near Hannaford as well as stores in Clifton Park and Amsterdam)

            Tractor Supply Company is the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States and has been operating in New York since 1986. 

            The new Greenwich Tractor Supply store will be located at 1175 State Route 29, and will employ 12 to 17 full- and part-time team members. The store will include sales floor and support service space. A fenced exterior space will be used for storage and displaying items such as fencing, sprayers and livestock equipment.

            “Tractor Supply looks forward to being a member of the Greenwich business community,” said District Manager Peter Menzynski. “Greenwich is a great fit due to the part-time and hobby farmers, and horse owners in the area.”

The contractor for the project, Bast Hatfield Construction, LLC of Halfmoon, began construction on Dec. 19, 2012. A completion date has been tentatively set for early June.

            

What do you think? Good news for Greenwich?
