GUILDERLAND — Two county legislators have recently gotten grants for seating projects in Guilderland.

Albany County Legislator Dennis Feeney got a $3,000 grant for the Guilderland library and fellow legislator legislator Mark Grimm got a $3,000 grant for the Guilderland Babe Ruth youth baseball organization.

The library’s grant was used for an outdoor picnic table, benches, and a hexagon-shaped seating area in the rear courtyard, according to a press release from the library.

The new outdoor picnic table features an extended end so those in wheelchairs can sit and eat.

The youth baseball grant will be used to build two new dugouts at the Tawasentha Park field. The current dugouts are more than 30 years old and have holes in them, according to a press release from Grimm. Guilderland Babe Ruth serves 175 teens.
