Spencerport Rite Aid store continues to update

The Ogden Town Board will hold a public hearing July 12 at 7 p.m. at the Ogden Community Center on extension #1 to the Nichols Street Sanitary Sewer District.

“The public hearing is in connection with creating a Sewer District at Nichols Street, where Rite Aid will reside,” Ogden Supervisor Gay Lenhard says. “The Planning Board has given permission to the developer to have a septic system for Rite Aid only, as long as they put the infrastructure in for a future sewer system around their property.”

The Rite Aid store is currently under construction at the site and Frank Jacobi, construction manager for Ellicott Development, says construction will continue through November with a completion date of November 27.  From that point, “it takes about six weeks to open,” Jacobi says, “meaning the new Rite Aid will likely open either January 11 or January 18, 2018.  The Rite Aid stores typically open on a Thursday.”

He says he believes that the trees which are currently on the site will remain. Regarding the Maier produce wagon, Jacobi says developers offered to allow the stand to continue on the other side of the lot, due to the fact the parcel is now an active construction site. The produce wagon reportedly has been moved to a site in front of Spencerport Bowl.

The Rite Aid store is Phase 1 of the Spencerport Mixed Use Center development. Developers have said they hope to eventually have more tenants for the site but Patrick Smith, Ogden Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, says he is not aware of any further development planned at this time. The site includes 33.1 acres.
