The first thing I noticed when I stopped by the Hub City Village construction site last Saturday was the concrete pool to the right of the entrance.
Just a quick reminder of an obvious fact: Just because the City of Albany approves new housing does not mean that new housing will be built, at least not right away.
Four years after the City of Albany condemned a house at 610 Sherman St. and then had it demolished, the still vacant lot has new owners and is being prepared for construction.
A subdivision for seven proposed townhouses off Gibson Hill Road in North Albany meets requirements in the city development code, so the Albany Planning Commission Monday affirmed its approval by the planning staff, rejecting an appeal.
Since last September, construction has been under way on three apartment buildings between Periwinkle Creek and Geary Street in Albany, at 1755 Geary St. S.E.
The south end of Lochner Road was supposed to be open again by mid-April, but it remained closed because of construction at the beginning of May.
Helping Hands floats proposal for housing
For a reason shrouded in the mist of long ago, the City of Albany owns three lots in the same block as the Albany Helping Hands homeless shelter. The shelter has an idea of how the lots could serve a useful purpose, and it’s not to house people in ragtag tents.
