Albany County Executive Dan McCoy is set to make an important announcement today regarding the future of the College of Saint Rose property in Albany, New York. The announcement will take place at Centennial Hall on Madison Avenue, where McCoy will be joined by leaders from the University at Albany, county legislators, and the Albany Pine Hills Land Authority.
The College of Saint Rose, which closed in May 2024 due to financial difficulties, has left its property available for redevelopment. The Albany Pine Hills Land Authority has been exploring various options for the site, including the potential for educational spaces, housing, business opportunities, and public use.
The news conference aims to provide clarity on the direction the county intends to take with the property, which has been a topic of interest since the college's closure. This announcement could mark a significant step in revitalizing the area and utilizing the space for community benefit.
