About Harmony House Marketplace: In the Spring of 2006, Jane LaCivita Clemente and Diane Conroy-LaCivita had an idea of creating a business that would highlight products from New York State while assisting with economic development and restoration of historic downtown Cohoes. Their motto: when you buy New York, you build New York! Their one requirement: they had to have fun in the process! Rolling up their sleeves, they became the demolition team – cleaning out three historic structures totaling more than 12,000 square feet of space. Forty-four dumpsters and several injuries later, they are still at it… On the weekends and during their free time, they traveled throughout the New York State visiting wineries and taking classes, and on November 30th, 2006, they opened their first business, the “Wine Seller” at Harmony House Marketplace which specializes exclusively in New York State wines. Their first building completed, they moved on to their next building – a bake shop. Weekly wine tastings, farm markets and special events keep Harmony House Marketplace buzzing and add to the exciting redevelopment of downtown Cohoes.
