Crossgates hotel could house traveling athletes

To the Editor:

My name is Lisa Wolf and I am a Guilderland resident.

I am writing you to show my support for the proposed hotel at Crossgates Mall. Having a hotel in Guilderland is a great idea and would be beneficial to our community. I think the hotel it would be a welcome opportunity to host sport teams and other larger groups coming to our area.

My children and I are involved with Guilderland High School Booster Clubs as well as Guilderland Travel Baseball and Guilderland Babe Ruth. We have a beautiful baseball facility and we would love to continue to invite teams for tournaments.

Having this facility in our town that could house sports teams close by would be a boon for the economy and an asset to the town. Visiting teams and their families would also support local restaurants, malls, and entertainment venues.

We would welcome a new hotel to this underserved part of town.
