New York state Sen. Pat Fahy (D-Albany) is thrilled by the $400 million for the revitalization of downtown Albany that Gov. Kathy Hochul has said will remain in the enacted state budget, once the state spending plan is passed.

But another development plan remains on Fahy’s to-do list. Only this one hasn’t received the same attention from the governor.

The first-term senator and other Capital Region legislators are sponsoring a bill to overhaul seven acres of the Wadsworth Lab on the Harriman State Office Campus in Albany. The proposal would require a mixture of housing, retail and commercial development.

Fahy told Capital Tonight that she hopes any new design “gets us out of the 1960s” and evolves beyond what she calls “a parking lot district."

The state budget is almost a month late.
