Stephen Proietta from Aldi’s contractor, National Contracting addressed questions from the public after a regular meeting of the Fulton Common Council on Tuesday, October 17. Aldi, the international supermarket chain, is constructing a new store location on the corner of Fay and South Fourth Streets in Fulton on a parcel of the former Nestle factory site. The City of Fulton acquired the 24-acre lot at 555 South Fourth Street by tax foreclosure in November of 2015 after the buildings sat mostly empty since Nestle closed in 2003. Today, nearly two years after acquisition, the site is anticipating complete demolition of the former factory by the end of the year with an Aldi store on a 2.2-acre lot slated to open in mid-December.
