Will the three empty lots owned by the City of Albany at Jackson Street and Ninth Avenue ever find a use other than growing weeds?
Last July the Albany City Council rejected an offer of $125,000 for three blighted lots at the corner of Ninth Avenue and Jackson Street. The properties seem to have been forgotten since.
Three small vacant lots in central Albany and owned by the city will soon come up for sale. What eventually happens there, if anything, seems very much up in the air.
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.
Up for discussion: Three empty city lots
Three fenced and vacant lots owned by the City of Albany at Ninth Avenue and Jackson Street looked pretty well maintained last week, in contrast to a few months ago. But at what cost?
