Enterprise — Michael Koff

1975 Western Ave., once known as Westlawn Lanes, is seeking a special-use permit for a change of use from a bowling alley to a local shopping center. The application was OK’d by the Albany County Planning Board on Sept. 16. The proposal has yet to come before any Guilderland town boards.

  • The proposed shop — 2093 Western Avenue, a multi-tenant building currently home to a dog salon — is located within a quarter mile of Guilderland’s second town-approved dispensary at 2028 Western Avenue.

  • “This morning we are awarding over $225,000 to 16 municipalities with a goal and a purpose to enhance and develop city, town, and village-owned parks, playgrounds, and recreational facilities across Albany County,” said Joanne Cunningham, who chairs the county legislature.

  • Guilderland Cemetery, formerly known as the Reformed Church Cemetery, was on the original 1794 lease of 43.75 acres from the proprietor of the manor of Rensselaerwyck, Stephen Van Rensselaer, to ministers, elders, and deacons of Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. The cemetery was turned over to the town of Guilderland in 2002 when the Guilderland Cemetery Association could no longer afford to keep it up.
