New York State Grant Approved For The New Huck Finn’s Playland

After Hoffman’s Playland in Latham closed last year, the owners of Huck Finn’s Warehouse in Albany stepped up.

They purchased the rides from Hoffman’s Playland in February. They’ll be opening the new Huck Finn’s Playland in just a couple of months.

The board of Empire State Development has officially approved a grant for the new children’s amusement park. It’s a $250,000 dollar grant which will be used to represent a percentage of the total cost to create Huck Finn’s Playland. According to the article in the Times Union, the total cost is $1.8 million dollars, and the grant 14 percent of the cost.

I think that there will be a lot of people very happy that someone is going to carry on an Albany area summertime tradition.
