Albany Scraps Bus Terminal Plans

Albany County has scrapped plans to turn a former McDonald’s into a new bus terminal, despite months of promotion and a February press event touting it as a downtown revitalization centerpiece. After community outcry during a June county meeting, County Executive Dan McCoy announced the project is off — but emphasized the original vision still aligns with major redevelopment efforts like CAP and Liberty Park. The South Pearl Street property is now up for sale; if no beneficial buyer emerges, the building may be demolished for MVP Arena parking. Officials remain open to future proposals for this key downtown site. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
