New business plans in the Albany area were abundant in 2023. Now into the new year, we get to witness the progress and completion of these projects. And, while not an all-inclusive list, here are five anticipated new business openings set for 2024.
Here’s the list:
Crumbl Cookies

Grand Island Park
Grand Island Park is the Albany area’s largest recreational project in years, and is set to be a combination of games, sports, and family fun. Located on part of the former Grand Island Golf Course property, the project will have plenty of space.
All those acres will be needed as Grand Island Park said guests can expect a new indoor skating rink, 12 pickleball courts, a patio area with food and refreshments, and a gamified golf driving range with a restaurant, delivering a ‘Top Golf’ like experience.
While no opening date is set, the owners tell 229 Life that Grand Island Park will open its doors in 2024.
