May 17, 2013, 1:08pm EDT Rotterdam investment will open up more land for development
Michael DeMasi Reporter- Albany Business Review Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn A developer building a $20 million apartment complex in Rotterdam, NY, will invest $1 million to build a new municipal sewer line to open up more commercial growth along Burdeck Street, Route 7 and Interstate 88. Developer Timothy Larned is expected to start building a 248-unit apartment complex with 7,000 square feet of retail/commercial space later this year, said Ray Gillen, chairman of the Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority. Larned had initially planned to build a sewer system to only service the apartment complex. However, officials from the town, county and Metroplex worked with Larned to come up with a more comprehensive plan that would benefit a larger area of town. Under the public/private partnership, the Metroplex will provide a $88,000 grant to Larned, and the town will waive a $186,000 hook-up fee. Larned will also donate land to the town for the sewer project, pay a town park fee of $148,800, and build the system at no cost to local taxpayers, officials said. New and existing businesses will be able to hook into the sewer line.

Larned knows a great deal about the "inner workings" of Schenectady County government. I expect that he may "sing" as part of a plea bargain. Look for NYS authorities to become involved in this one and some elected officials, past and present, to be implicated in wrongdoing.

He's not alone on this one. I predict nothing will come of this for TL.

In the late 1990s, Larned and his company were the victims of a shakedown scheme by former Rotterdam Town Supervisor James Constantino and allegedly by developer John DeGeorgio. A federal investigation of Constantino and town politics at the time revealed that the supervisor, allegedly at DeGeorgio's bidding, got Larned to reduce his bid for a town road for DeGeorgio's project on Ronnie Court and then demanded a kickback from Larned on the difference.
Prosecutors said at the time that DeGeorgio allegedly arranged for the extortion of $20,000 from a local contractor, of which he paid Constantino $8,000 and kept the rest for himself.
Constantino pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 21 months in prison. DeGeorgio was never prosecuted.

That's part of the problem. People forget. I don't. I remember every little sleazy detail. Especially when it comes to Jimmy the C. The name Michelle Wickham ring a bell?
