Viscusi Builders is seeking approval from the Guilderland Planning Board to construct the four-story apartment residence at 2 Crossgates Mall Road. 

Last month, Altamont Mayor Kerry Dineen presented a bill that would do away with Altamont’s planning and zoning boards and replace them with a single zoning board of appeals whose “powers and duties” would comprise both bodies. During a Tuesday public hearing on the proposal, Dean Whalen, who’d been a trustee for 16 years, took issue with what could be considered a rather large change to the proposed law. 

It was recommended to Altamont resident John Polk during last month’s zoning meeting that he try to get the village board to change the law through an amendment process laid out in the zoning code.

An email sent to neighbors by the McKownville Improvement Association  alerted readers to the project’s legal notice in the Jan. 27 edition of The Enterprise, appears to have been misinterpreted — due in no small measure to the notice’s legalese — as a proposal by Dish to install 48-foot-tall antennas on the building’s roof.  

Plug Power’s proposed manufacturing facility in Slingerlands is on the fastrack toward approval. 

Many of the women who supported the men who fought village fires have pressed on to fight fires themselves.

GUILDERLAND — The Guilderland Town Board by a unanimous 5-to-0 vote in October said no to both retail sales and on-site consumption of marijuana in the town. 

The project, which includes the renovation of an existing 172,000-square-foot building as well as the construction of ten 15,000-gallon storage tanks each at a height of nearly 47 feet, was approved by Guilderland’s zoning board in October.

The Jan. 24 ruling by Justice Thomas Rademaker of the state Supreme Court in Nassau County said Governor Kathy Hochul’s administration had exceeded its authority in implementing the mask-mandate rule. 

In a Jan. 5 letter to the Surface Transportation Board, village attorney Allyson Phillips writes that Altamont is opposed to CSX’s attempted acquisition of Pan Am Systems because the running of a 1.7-mile-long train twice per day over the Main Street railroad crossing would leave parts of the village inaccessible to emergency responders for as long as 10 minutes.
