First presented as a 70-lot subdivision in September 2022, then 66 homes just a couple of months later, BM Guilderland LLC is now looking to build a 42-lot subdivision on 87 acres spanning four properties along Route 146. But the pared-down proposal still has residents raising similar concerns.

An Albany County Court judge OK’d the settlement on March 22.
