  • Submitted by the City of Rensselaer
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative “Resurgent Rensselaer” – Submitted by the City of Rensselaer BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Capital District Municipality Name: City of Rensselaer Downtown Name: Rensselaer Transit Village County: Rensselaer Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. The City of Rensselaer is in the process of reinventing itself as an active waterfront transit village where residents can “Live, Work and Play.” In order to accomplish this mission, the city plans to completely redevelop its waterfront, redefine Broadway as its Main Street, and improve connectivity from new residential, retail, commercial and recreational uses to the Albany/Rensselaer Train Station. Justification. Provide an overview of the downtown, highlighting the area’s defining characteristics and the reasons for its selection. Explain why the downtown is ready for Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) investment, and how that investment would serve as a catalyst to bring about revitalization. The City of Rensselaer is the prime example of a community which is in the midst of rebirth as a modern-day transit village. The city boasts a wonderful location with easy access to regional rail transportation, waterfront recreation, new mixed-use housing developments and a traditional Main Street thoroughfare along Broadway. Moreover, Broadway directly connects the waterfront to a number of historic resources within the city, offering an opportunity to rebrand the city as a modern transit village and historic maritime port of call along the Hudson. A historic impediment to redevelopment along Broadway and the waterfront has been the existence of perceived and potential brownfield sites, as highlighted in the City’s New York State Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program Nomination Study.

  • Albany Convention Center Authority Capitalize Albany Corp Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau
    Albany Convention Center Authority Capitalize Albany Corp Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST HOTEL DEVELOPMENT The Albany Convention Center Authority, The Capitalize Albany Corp, and the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau jointly desire to ascertain the potential interest in developing a hotel to be located in the proximity of the proposed convention center in downtown Albany, New York. To gauge the level of interest, we are seeking written Expressions of Interest from qualified hotel developers with regard to development of the proposed hotel. Albany and the capital region are tourist destinations that greatly benefit from the business of government as a source of revenue for the hospitality industry. Market conditions in this area are positively impacted by the need for individuals and organizations from around the state to meet with their representatives, leaders and headquarters staff. Market research has identified the presence of latent demand for meeting and exhibit space not currently met by existing facilities in Albany. Research also demonstrated that significant amounts of convention business can be expected to come to Albany if adequate convention facilities are made available. The publicly owned convention center will respond to this need by providing meeting and exhibition space. Quality lodging that is proximate to the convention center is key to completing the visitor experience and securing the full share of meeting, convention, and tourism business for the proposed convention center. The proposed concept plan envisions a privately financed hotel to be located in downtown Albany close to the proposed convention center and potentially developed on land proximate to the proposed convention center, a portion of which is currently under contract with Albany Convention Center Authority.

  • Hudson Water and Sewer Smart Growth Infrastructure Proposal David Kay, Dlk2@Cornell.Edu - Cardi, Department of Development Sociology June 2013
    Hudson Water and Sewer Smart Growth Infrastructure Proposal David Kay, dlk2@cornell.edu - CaRDI, Department of Development Sociology June 2013 This proposal was designed primarily to educate about and conduct new research into the extent and manner in which New York’s Smart Growth Public Infrastructure Policy Act is being implemented in New York State, and the implications for the state’s local governments. As noted more specifically in our supplemental request sent to WRI in May, our initial proposal was designed to a) better understand and document the extent of PIPA implementation by state agencies with jurisdiction over water and sewer infrastructure b) better understand the implications of the Act for New York’s communities and local governments c) to document and draw attention to the current state of awareness of the Act on the part of local government. Preliminary key findings, subject to revision, are restricted to item (a), and implicitly through (a) to item b). They include: • There were a dozen named major agencies covered by the Act (at this point, all or parts of DOT, DOE, DOH, DOS, EFC, DHCR, Dormitory Authority, Thruway Authority, Port Authority, ESD). • The Act also covers extends coverage to: o “all other New York authorities. Any subsidiary of, or corporation with the same members or directors as, a public benefit corporation identified in this subdivision shall also be deemed to be within the definition of state infrastructure agency under this article.” The precise applicability of the law is, however, not clarified, and probably will not be clear until aggressive efforts to implement it are undertaken, challenged and adjudicated.

  • Annual Report 2017
    Public Authorities Accountability Act of 2005 Filed pursuant to and in accordance with Subdivision (1) of Section 2800 of the Public Authorities Law: Annual Report 2017 1.) Operations and Accomplishments in 2017 During this past year, 2017, the Albany Convention Center Authority (“ACCA”) has proceeded pursuant to its enabling legislation and under the guidance of New York State Office of General Services (“OGS”) and the 2013 approval by Governor Cuomo to construct, within the existing State appropriation, a right sized convention facility located between Eagle, Howard and Wendell Streets adjacent to the Empire State Plaza, the EGG, the Times Union Center and to be directly connected to the Empire State Plaza Walkway. The address is 55 Eagle St. In 2017 the ACCA completed all aspects of the construction of the Albany Capital Center, including the Empire State Walkway Renovations and all associated site work, and commenced operations of the Albany Capital Center on March 1, 2017. The ACCA took action on a number of important matters related to the completion of construction and the commencement of operations of Albany Capital Center as well as the disposition of the surplus lands that comprises the former site of the convention facility. Toward that end, a summary of the 2017 operations of the ACCA are as follows: The ACCA finalized construction of the Albany Capital Center, commenced the close- out of all construction contracts and performed a number of housekeeping items to shift the focus of the ACCA from construction to the operations of the Albany Capital Center. Toward that end, the ACCA established an Economic Impact Committee to verify the number of events, attendance, and room-nights reported by the operator.

    Historic Albany Foundation Historic Albany Foundation preserves and protects buildings that have architectural, historic or civic value, by providing technical assistance, education, and advocacy. Spring 2017 Edition newsletter In this issue, we focus on Albany’s oldest house. 2017 will be a banner year for the Van Ostrande-Radliff House, a.k.a. 48 Hudson Avenue, c. 1728. Learn about funding recently awarded to ramp up & continue its restoration, the history of the building itself, & more! Also included: our spring & summer program calendar on page four! Restoring the Van Ostrande-Radliff House at 48 Hudson CARA MACRI • When Historic Albany Foundation received 48 Hudson in 2013, we knew that the building had to be restored to tell its history. We could not just turn the clock back to 1728 and destroy all the additions and changes that happened over its close to 300 years. We created a team of architects and preservationists to develop a sensitive plan to restore the building. 48 Hudson Avenue was constructed in three distinct phases over 100 years, giving the building multiple periods of significance. Our restoration plan respects each section as a products of its time. We are starting with the Van Ostrande - Radliff House which is nestled within the front third of 48 Hudson Avenue and are taking it back its original Dutch appearance, representing the working class, urban Dutch people who inhabited the house. The false front will be removed and the façade restored to its 1728 appearance, including restoring the steeply pitched gabled roof . The 19th century industrial additions will be repaired and adapted, as the additions are well suited for modern use.
