SCHENECTADY SCCC set to lease space in city Weekend, night classes foreseen BY MICHAEL GOOT Gazette Reporter
Schenectady County Community College is continuing its expansion off campus, with a plan to lease 20,000 square feet of classroom space in the new Center City facility downtown. The Board of Trustees on Monday approved entering into a fi veyear lease with the Galesi Group for space inside the 433 State St. building. The property houses the Schenectady Y and offi ce space. SCCC President Quintin Bullock said this is an opportunity to expand beyond the college footprint and become more integrated into the community. It will allow the college to offer more classes at nontraditional hours such as nights and weekends. The college will have access to the space when the Y is operating. “It will also allow us to streamline by having that facility open during the weekend and cutting down on the need to have this entire college [campus] open,” he said. The space will house classes in the college’s certifi ed nursing assistant program, as well as criminal justice, business and computing. The exact lease terms are still to be worked out but will cover Galesi’s cost to adapt the space, according to the college. SCCC will use the money from the $11.2 million, five-year grant it received from the federal Department of Health and Human Services to train people for health careers. Currently, the certified nursing assistant program is being housed on the sixth floor of Elston Hall but needs more space. .....................>>>>.....................>>>>....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01104&AppName=1
They're already fully integrated outside their footprint... into our wallets. How much more do they want? And how much are we spending on the new lease, paying the landlord of Schenectady County, Galesi?

Schenectady County Community College has many fine graduates who are making good money in careers in many different fields -- anyone who attacks SCCC as the previous two posters did obviously do NOT know anything about what they are talking about on this subject.

Nice to see a federal grant money from the taxpayers is paying for space built with the county taxpayers money. Yet, the grant money is going into the Galesi purse.

Either that, or you don't obviously follow what the Democrat-led County Legislature does with the tax money they collect every year. Whether a Schenectady County resident / taxpayer goes to SCCC or not, we're still stuck paying a portion of the tuition. How many of those SCCC "fine graduates who are making good money in careers in many different fields" are doing so right here in Schenectady County? And how many were residents in the first place? Let's see you put your figures where your keyboard is. Do YOU know anything about what you are talking about on this subject? Those facts would lead me to lean towards a "yes" answer to that question, otherwise, it's a big fat "no," at least on the point that I was making, you know, the thing that you said I knew nothing about.
See where Schenectady County Community College is coming to the rescue of Center City by leasing 10,000 square feet in the newly revamped, albeit empty four-story mausoleum. There were high hopes of landing Barnes & Noble as a tenant, but that bombed even before the chain started shutting down outlets galore nationwide. There are office space for-lease signs all over the Proctors' block. Now, the downtown development brain trust is projecting possibly creating more office quarters at the old Foster Hotel. The dilapidated building is currently undergoing massive reconstruction. Downtown needs more office digs like it needs the proverbial hole in the head. Fortunately for the business district, a bunch of state government agencies are tenants, including DOT, Lottery, Commission on Quality Care and Workers Comp along with various county government offices. The city core could use more housing for average-income people who automatically become downtown consumers. When it comes to the excess vacant office space, one building owner with empty floors summed up the situation short and sweet. The law of supply and demand has not been repealed,'' he opined.
Barnes and Noble as a tenant Downtown? ROTFLMAO!! The rape of the County taxpayers continues. Instead of businesses these DEM morons fill with the pool less YMCA and now expanded SCCC. Then they give another business free rent so that they can "generate street traffic for lunch" {actual quote from Death Ray}.
Look across the street from City Hall {another business fixing to flee} or lower State Street below Erie and tell us about the "rebirth". The DEMS lie about job creation, potential retail tenants and economic impact of Proctor's shows. The rape of the County taxpayer continues with no end in sight. Look for another cash dash by Death Ray as he has burned threw his entire debt limit. Let's see if one County Legislature has the backbone to say no mas.
