"improvements" as one calls it.

The old Grand Union.  It that crumbling parking lot and all the weed--overgrown of course--along the street as well as in the parking lot, is that allowed?

A new building next door and this unsightliness is allowed?

Or is something going to go in the old Grand Union soon.   Vacant, what, 10 years now?

Hamburg St improvements, "indeed"

I think that after a certain point these places should be returned to a grass lot, for environmental reasons. Like definitely at the point where weeds are coming through asphalt. Mowed weeds and grass aren't unsightly, IMO, and better for run-off and such. Anybody wanting to use the site for something now would probably need to replace the building anyway, wouldn't they? It certainly won't qualify for historic preservation, get rid of it. Unless of course that would entail spending about a billion taxpayer dollars, as it does in Schenectady.

Corporations get incentives to come to the county, take their profits and leave the buildings for us to demolish.

Just look at the crap at Guilderland and Curry.
