From today’s paper: SUNY trustees yesterday approved the acquisition of 3.3 acres from the Harriman State Office Campus — potentially the site of a controversial new dorm.
Less than 24 hours earlier, 13th Ward Councilman Daniel Herring, who represents parts of the nearby Eagle Hill neighborhood, introduced this resolution calling for UAlbany not to build on the 12 wooded acres adjacent to Tudor Road.
Councilman Michael O’Brien also supports the measure, which was sent to the planning committee, which Herring chairs.
Herring said he believes there were enough votes to pass it but that he wanted to use the committee as a venue to engage UAlbany officials about their plans.
In response to neighborhood resistance, UAlbany said last month it would look at other options — but hasn’t yet said what those might be.
Eagle Hill residents have started this blog to fight the plan.
