On Feb. 28, the City and Port of Ridgefield together announced that a new retail development center that includes a Rosauers Supermarkets grocery store will move forward on a portion of the port’s Discovery Ridge property at the southeast corner of the roundabout at 45th and Pioneer streets.
At its regularly-scheduled meeting on Feb. 28, the Port of Ridgefield Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the port and holding company Discovery Ridge LLC, for around nine acres of the 30-acre site, paving the way for the development of a 53,000-square-foot, full-service, Rosauers grocery store with a fueling station. Discovery Ridge LLC will contract the project to FDM Development, owned by Ridgefield-based developer Dean Maldonado.
Developers anticipate breaking ground at the site this coming June, and are hopeful that the grocery store will be open during the first quarter of 2019.
