If you travel in the Clifton Park area you already know how congested it is. Soon a Chick-fil-A will open and then a Bass Pro Shop in that same area. Now plans are moving forward with developing the old Kmart site in Shoppers World Plaza.

There may be some major development of a large piece of property across from the Albany-Rensselaer Train Station. The Twin brothers who own the property have big plans that they intend on presenting to the city soon.

There is new life being given to a long-time vacant 1890s building in downtown Troy. It's being purchased by a businessman who owns three restaurants but has different plans for this building.

If you grew up in the Capital Region, chances are you visited Hoffman's Playland in Loudonville as a kid. When it closed back in 2014, it left a void for a lot of kids and adults in the area. Even though it relocated to Huck Finn's in Albany, the land where it once stood was abandoned. Now it looks like something may finally occupy that space.

Revitalization is one step closer to the development of One Monument Square in downtown Troy. Finally, after many denials, the town planning board has approved some of the development.

We have seen a gradual change from the shopping mall as we know it into entertainment complexes and other venues. There is a developer that could be changing the landscape of Wilton Mall.

If everything gets approved, it looks as if there will be more development coming to Glenville. A proposal is being discussed that would take the old Hortsman Strawberry Farm and turn it into condos, apartments, and other commercial space.

Snake Hill on Saratoga Lake is one of the most recognizable landmarks. It is prominently visible from every part of the lake and features 30 acres of undeveloped land. There is a proposal that will change some of the untouched lands that is Snake Hill.
