The long-running dream of a grocery store in downtown Schenectady takes a step closer to reality Monday, with the public launch of the Electric City Food Co-op’s new virtual marketplace.
The online platform allows consumers to order food and goods from local growers and producers in a contactless setting. It is intended as a way to bring together a curated selection of products from across a geographically sprawling area.
Shoppers might find some of the items at the Schenectady Greenmarket or at certain retailers on any given week, but with the online platform, they can reserve what they want.
