Race Track Will Have New Childcare Center

Posted onMarch 16, 2021March 16, 2021

The Belmont Child Care Association says its new childcare center serving families and children of the backstretch community at Saratoga Race Course is scheduled to open this summer.

The 4,300-square-foot center will be located on the Oklahoma side of the Saratoga backstretch. Funded by Michael and Lee Dubb, the facility will be named Faith’s House in honor of Faith Dubb, mother of BCCA founder and board chairman Michael Dubb.

Faith’s House will provide child care and early education programs for infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children. The center will be open seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. to accommodate the schedules of backstretch workers and horsemen.

“All working parents deserve to know that their children are being cared for in a safe, healthy and enriching environment during the workday,” said Dubb, who is a prominent thoroughbred owner in addition to his work with the BCCA. “We are thrilled to extend this important program to the hardworking families of the Saratoga backstretch community, who provide a vital service to the racing community.”

ADK Trust Fund Gives Relief To Nonprofits

Posted onMarch 16, 2021March 16, 2021

The Adirondack Trust Co. Community Fund has awarded COVID-19 relief funding to local nonprofit organizations through the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, as well as Christ’s Cupboard Food Pantry at the First Baptist Church of Ballston Spa.

The ATCCF COVID-19 Relief Donor Advised Fund was created in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding for the fund was made possible by donations made by community members.

“The Adirondack Trust Co. Community Fund is thankful to be able to provide funding to these critical organizations that directly help others,” said Advisory Committee Chair Brian Straughter. “Supporting the local organizations that provide direct aid in their time of need is important, and we are grateful to assist in their work.”

Medical Center Near Hospital Moving Ahead

Posted onMarch 16, 2021March 16, 2021

Saratoga Hospital has taken the next step toward developing a medical office center on Morgan Street in Saratoga Springs, by submitting a sketch plan application for review by the city Planning Board.

The property is located on land behind Saratoga Hospital, which is at 211 Church St.

The hospital presented preliminary sketches to the Planning Board to get feedback from board members and the community.

The preliminary plans include a medical office center that would allow Saratoga Hospital to bring physicians from offices throughout the city to a single location, where they could more easily collaborate on patient care, officials said.

Equally important, because of the site’s proximity to the hospital, in emergency situations surgeons and other physicians could get to Saratoga Hospital in minutes, according to hospital officials.

A new restaurant in Clifton Park Center Mall, Sabor Azteca, is offering upscale food and a “taste of the Aztecs” to lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Alejandro Morales and business partner Rafael Escamilla have owned restaurants together since 2004. They opened Pancho’s Restaurant on Central Avenue in Albany and left there to open La Fiesta in Clifton Park.

Sabor Azteca is their third business venture.

“Clifton Park is a big area and has room for another Mexican restaurant, especially one with higher quality ingredients,” Morales said. “Most of these restaurants offer the same food and menu items.”

Morales said Sabor Azteca is distinguishing itself by using “a better grade of meat and seafood, such as hormone-free chicken and gluten-free ingredients. When you use real crab meat instead of imitation, people appreciate that. If they try the dish, they know the difference.”

A large Italian family is pooling its experience and expertise to create Raffaele’s Italian Deli and Import at the new Rexford Landing shopping center on Grooms Road.

Still under construction, the shop is expected to open in late April or early May.

Raffaele Mele, for whom the enterprise is named, is one of 12 children in a family that immigrated from Calabria in 1973.

After a short time in New York City, the family settled in south Troy, near relatives that were already in the food business. Mele now lives in Clifton Park.

“The family has restaurants all over,” he said, including Latham and Albany and Sarasota, Fla. He has worked in many of them, beginning at age 11. A brother had a pizzeria in the Troy Atrium back in the days when it was a thriving shopping mall.

Mele’s wife, Melinda, and a brother, Francesco, own the business along with him. He expects to have other siblings, nieces and nephews helping out.

By Andrea Harwood Palmer

The West at Saratoga, at 116 West Ave. in Saratoga Springs, is a luxury high-rise condo inspired by  buyer demand and a desire to live in high-rise condominiums that already exist on Broadway, according to real estate broker Scott Varley of Keller Williams in Saratoga Springs.

He is the listing agent for the condos. He said interest in the condos is running high.

The average sale price of the Broadway condos is well over $1 million dollars, said Varley. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with many people working from home, have driven buyers away from larger cities.

“There are many people who would love to live that kind of lifestyle, but at half that price. In the condo category of the Saratoga Springs market, half a million dollars is very reasonable,” said Varley.

“Real estate is the fuel for the engine of a booming economy,” said Varley. “And our area is benefiting from the pivot northward happening in the state right now.”
