SCHENECTADY, NY (September 15, 2004) — Schenectady County and City officials today joined with Metroplex to announce plans by the Mallozzi Family to invest over $2 million in a renovation of 226 Broadway in downtown Schenectady transforming a partially vacant building into a major commercial bakery and retail coffee/pastry shop in the fast growing Proctor's Entertainment District creating 40 new jobs downtown.  The current owner of 226 Broadway, Precision Industrial, will relocate to a new 7,500 square foot building that will be constructed on Erie Boulevard retaining 41 jobs and adding 10 new jobs in the City.

Paolino was Supervisor .. but which party controlled the Town Board ???

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

Villa Italia was thwarted by
the previous administration from relocating WITHIN Rotterdam ...

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

They wanted to relocate within the town -- and it was blocked by the then supervisor.

Quoted from TippyCanoe

and just how much do both cost????

do you enjoy paying our police chief over 100K??? for what

i seem to remember how badly the county did compared to the town during last years storms, rotterdam has always been a well plowed haven in schenectady county

put the chips on the table

don't let schenectady happen here!

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

Thank you for the information -- the Highway Department is still a huge part of town spending and       thus of our tax bill.  

Through intergovernmental cooperation - you could save money - by eliminating duplication of positions .. particularly the supervisory ones.
For a county the size of Schenectady - 150,000 persons .. and the 2nd smallest in land area ... we
really don't need 7 highway departments, 6 police departments,  7 chief executives (Mayor/Supervisor) 7 clerks, 7 receivers of taxes, etc    (oops .. I didn't count the villages of Delanson and Scotia .. add 2  to some of the previous numbers).

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

Yes - they are all economic development  - Marcellas probably would have moved out of Schenectady
County altogether .. keeping them in the city is a big win for the County.  
Villa Italia was thwarted by
the previous administration from relocating WITHIN Rotterdam .. so the fact that we were able to keep
them in the County instead of losing them to a neighboring county is also a big win for the County.
MVP brings hundreds of jobs to our downtown -- workers who spend money during their lunch time and
after work -- another big win for the County.  
I always see good numbers of people going in and out of BowTie Cinema -- it attracts people down town
.. they spend money down town .. another big win for the County.
Proctor's is a jewel -- a nationally known venue -- it attracts people downtown -- they spend money in
Schenectady County -- it is a HUGE WIN for the County

So if I am misguided by thinking that keeping businesses WITHIN the County -- attracting NEW
business into the County -- and putting Schenectady County on the national map as an Arts/Entertainment venue -- than I am guilty as charged.   At least, I am not one of the ostriches who keep their head
in the sand (or someplace else) and wants NO development and then cries when their taxes go up.

Quoted from CICERO

Do you even remember what you post?  Just admit you were wrong and move on.

It's ok, you can speak ill of your masters here.  You don't have to make stuff up to appease your masters.  We're all friends, we won't tell on you.  

Quoted from Kevin March

DVR, you also forgot to add the 15 legislators paid to represent us at the county level, which could easily be replaced by a board of supervisors, the same way the show is run in Schoharie County.

don't think that Buchanan and Tomassone did not try to influence those 2 groups

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

The GOP controlled the town board and .. you are forgetting about the Planning Commission and
Board of Appeals ... don't think that Buchanan and Tomassone did not try to influence those 2 groups

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

They wanted to relocate within the town -- and it was blocked by the then supervisor.(Paolino)

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

actually .. I made a post on a different thread a week or so ago .. I do think the Board of Supervisors
approach would be better -- better still would be a unified city-county regional government

Quoted from bumblethru

This is apparently 'hearsay'. Something rotterdam is familiar with! And this is the story from WHO???

The Mallz's are very well known and very well liked in rotterdam. They live here and do a great business here. If what you are saying is correct....and that is a big IF.....why didn't they go public with this information instead of falling into the political trap by making it a political issue? The town would have surely rallied around the Mallozzi's!

It just doesn't make sense!
