After being denied new store: Stewart’s will close its V’ville shop

When Voorheesville updated its comprehensive plan this past summer, it called for the rezoning of the area around the former Smitty’s Tavern, which is owned by Stewart’s Shops.

This week, citing an inability to build a new shop, Stewart’s announced it would close its Voorheesville store.
