Serving the Towns of Bethlehem ~V.UJ.._ Lowe's signs on Anyone for tennis? to center By KRISTEN OLBY

The home improvement retail chain Lowe's has signed on to become the latest addition to the Bethlehem Town Center shopping plaza on Route 9W in Glenmont. The plaza received the final vote of approval needed ·from the Bethlehem town board at its Feb. 19 meeting. Developer ] ohn Nigro sought approval from the board to modify the building proposal, now that the final anchor store has been named. Bethlehem Town Center will also house a Wal-Mart Supercenter with a grocery, Charter One Bank branch, Applebee's and Wendy's with parking for 1.800 cars. The plaza project has been roughly three years in the making, with a lengthy review by the town board. "I think the best thing I can do right now is to get down there and build this project," Nigro said .. The developer sought approval from the board to slightly amend the building proposal, which will now include incorporating the Lowe's sign, modifying the building size-Lowe's will be 12,000 square feet smaller than expected-and parking lot lighting. Golden retrievers Tigger and Holly wait for Cindy Prieto- to throw a tennis ball at the Bethlehem Dog Park last Saturday. "These changes are really of Jim Franco insignificant nature," said town Supervisor Sheila Fuller.
