Guilderland Residences PUD Affordable Housing Proposal

A 72-unit affordable and workforce housing development got its final local approval. The town will send a support letter to the state housing agency since funding is competitive, with decisions expected around February or March.

What it means: The developer will pay $2,200 per townhome and $1,200 per multifamily unit into the town's park fund, plus a sewer mitigation fee still to be determined.

Village of Altamont water service refusals

The village told a Brandel Road landowner it won't provide water to anyone outside the village, forcing new development onto private wells and septic. Well issues, including manganese, are already known on Brandel Road.

What it means: The village keeps its limited water and sewer capacity for village residents.
