At the conclusion of each year, we look back at some of the retail changes around our corner of the Southern Tier of New York, specifically, businesses we unfortunately lost.

But with losses, also come gains in our community. As I tallied up what businesses have opened (some re-opened), and some are proposed, from January 1st through today (May 21, 2024) there are more than I thought. It's exciting to see so much happening around our community.

There may be a couple of projects that I have missed. Let me know if so, and I'll add it to the list. These businesses have either opened in the first 4 and a half months of 2024 or are either under construction or are planned for construction soon.

These are a mix of local and national businesses. It's great to see the Triple Cities area continue to grow, and this is just over the first 4 months of the year. It will be interesting to see what other businesses come to our area over the next six months.

Thanks to WNBF's Bob Joseph for reporting on all these new and proposed businesses landing in our community. The list is in no particular order of opening/planned announcement.
