Spring 2008, a Wal-Mart Super-center opened just outside the city limits in Granby. Building of the hotly-contested store was temporarily halted in early 2007 after the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation refused access to the area in order to preserve nesting wildlife during the Spring season.
