What Will the Development be Called?

Frank Barbera who is the builder worked closely with the town of Colonie historian to come up with the name of the development. Back in 1854, the area between Osborne and Maxwell roads was called Cold Spring. So the new subdivision will be called Cold Spring. The street names will be Edenfield, Delia, and Baylor after prominent families from the 1800s.
