Aldi to start Fulton store in May and use site upgrades
The city plans to let Aldi begin building in May after removing concrete flooring to shorten site prep. Mayor notes removing two acres would save time and fill. Aldi will install its own water and sewer lines from Fay Street as city extends utilities along South Fifth Street for future development. Local demolition firm Infinity Enterprises salvages Nestle site materials at no city cost.
