Construction on the new $22 million, 52,000-square-foot Big Y World Class Market in the south end of Middletown \officially kicked off this week with a ceremonial groundbreaking. The 7.31-acre site has been cleared and soon will be graded to fill the large depression on the land at 850 S. Main St., the location of the former Frontier Communications fleet maintenance facility. The national grocery chain is expected to create about 150 new jobs (50 full-time and 100 part-time), according to the application. This will be the largest commercial project the city has seen in a number of years, according to Land Use Director Marek Kozikowski. The grocery store is expected to open by late next summer, Matt D’Amour said.
