Seniors will one day have another option for
community living, thanks to a project underway
through the Wesley Community.

Wesley Community CEO Brian Nealon said
the new project will offer high-end luxury
apartments, along with some more affordable
options, located in Malta, west of Northway Exit
12 and off Route 67.

Wesley is partnering with Saratoga Hospital
on the project, which will be located on property
behind the hospital’s Malta Med Emergent Care
building, 6 Medical Park Drive.

Nealon said the area is owned by Saratoga
Hospital, who Wesley has partnered with before.
He said they are excited to once again join forces
and offer living options to the senior population.

A proposed development on 200 acres in
Luther Forest– if approved by the Stillwater
Town Board–could result in of 40 “rural
residences” and commercial space designed to
meet the needs of GlobalFoundries.

It would include single-family homes on
lots ranging in size from three-quarters of
an acre to 12 acres, and some commercial
development.

The project is being proposed by the Luther/
Mackay family, which owns the land. The fifth
generation of the Luther/Mackay family, four
siblings and a cousin, took over the reins of
the Luther Forest Corp. when Alec Mackay
(father of the siblings) retired and moved to
New Hampshire last July.

According to Marissa Mackay who, with her
brother Cailean is responsible for the day-today
management of the company, the development
would help grow the business community
around the Global Foundries manufacturing
plant. It may include an extended-stay hotel
and will probably have office and warehouse
space but probably no retail tenants.

Support Manager for Ace Hardware Corp. “These
warehouses supply merchandise to the more than
4,800 Ace retail stores worldwide,” and the new
space at the Northumberland facility “will support
current and future inventory levels and sales. In
addition, much of the space will have pallet racking
installed to house greater quantities of inventory.”

The Northumberland location is strategic to
the company’s mission of serving its retail stores
with service and prompt order fulfillment so it can
“provide the best possible products to customers,”
