New Businesses Are Popping Up In The Area

At the same time though, just as we are learning about the closures in the area, there have been quite a number of new businesses that have popped up, or announced their grand openings or expansion plans across the Hudson Valley.

Within the past few weeks, locals got pretty excited about the news of a new restaurant coming to a popular spot in the Fishkill Plaza (Shop Rite plaza), in the currently vacant storefront that was once Michael's Sports Bar & Cafe and Whistling Willie's.
