East Greenbush sees major apartment proposal for Columbia Turnpike

EAST GREENBUSH – The town Planning Board next week will look at a planned development district for a proposed 300-unit apartment complex, the largest to be proposed in the town in more than a decade, that some consider important to the revitalization of Columbia Turnpike.

The 300 units of luxury apartments and 12,000 square feet of commercial space are proposed by 580 Columbia Turnpike LLC. The 35-acre site is where the Weathervane Restaurant stood for decades before it became derelict and was torn down in June 2016.

“It brings people to a really important part of the turnpike,” said Adam Yagelski, the town director of planning and development.

Can't wait to try their breakfast menu!

Costco and Cabela's...wouldn't that be nice for Schodack?

Schodack has a similar situation with homeowners wanting tax benefits from commercial properties, but not wanting businesses too close! We are being taxed to death. Castleton's Main street is dying. There is a real need for businesses - lots of room on Route 9! Cabelas would attract customers from Pittsfield to Rensselaer, Hudson to Bennington!
Please Costco and Cabelas - Try again!

Could it be? A new business in Schodack? Fingers crossed.
