Project developer Mason Scholtes is proposing five duplexes along Carman Road and 12 cottages set up in a “pocket neighborhood” along Fuller Station Road. 

In the month since an Albany County court judge sided with Pyramid in its tax certiorari case against the town, both plaintiff and defendant have decided to appeal acting county Supreme Court Justice David Weinstein’s Dec. 13 decision, which ordered that Crossgates’ 2020 assessed value be lowered to $258 million and its 2020 assessment be dropped to $177 million.

Called Guilderland Live Poultry and Grocery in its application to the town, the market would offer “meat from live poultry” as well as “condiments and spices and related requirements for food preparation.”

On Wednesday, the Guilderland Planning Board began its site-plan review of New York Oncology Hematology’s proposed Western Avenue regional cancer center. 

At issue is the town’s decision to change providers from CDPHP to Humana, which Anne Tucker Rose, Guilderland’s supervisor for a period in the 1990s, said no longer allows her to see her pulmonologist of 30 years.

In a press release drumming up business last week, Hamilton Parc, which has received millions in town-approved tax breaks, sought and received publicity for single-room apartments with a starting low of $2,475 per month and two-room units at the high end for nearly $4,000 a month

Acting county Supreme Court Justice David Weinstein in December determined Crossgates’ own appraisal for 2019 and 2020 was the “most consistent” analysis of the property’s value, and ruled in the Crossgates’ favor, ordering that the Guilderland’s “assessment rolls are to be corrected accordingly, and any overpayments of taxes are to be refunded with interest.”

NEW SCOTLAND — Local news out of New Scotland this year took on a decidedly national tone, with two major stories garnering media attention from outlets across the country.

Much as in 2017, the town is getting its regulatory ducks in a row because it’s “been approached by a couple of possible projects,” New Scotland Supervisor Douglas LaGrange said during the town board’s November meeting.

The increase, the first since 2009, raises minimum New Scotland senior household eligibility requirements from $29,000 to $50,000, and from $37,400 to $58,400.
