Common Council
Statement by Members of the Albany Common Council in Opposition to the Fort Orange Club’s Parking Lot Application Currently Pending Before the Board of Zoning Appeals (5/12/08)
As members of the Albany Common Council we voice our opposition to the application by the Ft. Orange Club to demolish two structures for the purpose of expanding a surface parking lot. These buildings are in a highly visible downtown location and part of an important streetscape near the Capitol Building. The proposed demolition is contrary to urban planning principles and should be denied.
