Summary
The Amsterdam Common Council passed a resolution supporting 5 Corners Development and Home Leasing's plan to build 66 affordable senior units at 17–19 Edward Street; the resolution cites the city's comprehensive plan and Brownfield opportunity area.
The Common Council approved a resolution expressing the city's support for a proposed senior housing development by 5 Corners Development and Home Leasing at 17–19 Edward Street. The resolution states the firms "wish construct 66 affordable senior housing units at 17 Through 19 Edward Street," language read into the record by Stacy, the clerk. The measure cites alignment with the City of Amsterdam's 2003 comprehensive plan and the northern neighborhood's Brownfield opportunity area as reasons for support.
Alderman Holliday introduced the resolution and the motion passed on roll call. The resolution directs the city to express official support for the project; it does not itself authorize funding or approvals beyond that formal endorsement. Council members recorded their votes in the roll call appended to the minutes.
