Five Corners Development is thrilled to play a part in the continued responsible growth in Malta and Saratoga County. Even in these early stages of the development, we have been in discussions with interested tenants such as daycare centers, restaurateurs, and widely renowned Fiden’s Brewing.
Plans for the new complex were submitted to the Malta Town Board on Monday and will likely take months to review.
