Architectural Glass and Metal (AGM) is moving to a new location.

The firm will occupy 3 Liebich Lane in Halfmoon. The move is tentatively scheduled for mid-August, officials said. The company is currently located at 11B Solar Drive in Halfmoon.

AGM is an architectural contracting firm founded in 1986. They provide glass and metal paneling for commercial properties in the Capital Region.

The new location is 24,000 square feet, the same amount of space as the current location. But there is more warehouse space within the building, which AGM plans to lease out to other companies, officials said.

The facility where AGM is currently housed is two floors, requiring employees to have to move back and forth between levels. The new space will hold the fabrication area all on one floor.

“It’s a better layout and will allow us to be more efficient.  The new building will also give us the opportunity to grow and utilize more space if necessary” said Mike Haverly, company vice president.

Bua Thai is a restaurant in Malta’s Ellsworth Commons that provides Asian cuisine. Owner Lek Cameron said customers can expect authentic Thai food in an atmosphere that allows them to visit Thailand, if just for an hour or two.

“With our food and uniforms, people come in and can’t believe it. It is like visiting Thailand. You feel like you are not eating the food but visiting the place,” she said.

“I am really feeling so happy right now with things, we are doing quite well,” said Cameron. The restaurant has benefited from growing surrounding businesses like GlobalFoundries.

Cameron is committed to bringing authentic Thai food to the region. She also appreciates  customer feedback and is happy to accommodate and customize dishes.

“If it’s not on the menu, we can still try to make a requested dish. We want people to experience just how good Thai food should be,” said Cameron.

Regional Economic Development Council Opens Its Annual Competitive Grant Process

Posted onMay 5, 2017May 5, 2017

New York state has launched Round VII of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative, officially kicking off the annual competition for more than $800 million in state economic development resources.

The Consolidated Funding Application opened to applicants on May 1, enabling businesses, municipalities, nonprofits and members of the public to begin applying, through a single application, for assistance from dozens of state programs for projects that create jobs and help to revitalize communities.

“The Regional Economic Development Councils have successfully brought local communities together like never before, spurring economic growth from the ground up and creating jobs across New York,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “With the seventh round of the REDC awards, the state will continue its partnership with local governments and community leaders—making smart investments in our cities, towns and villages to give the Regional Councils the tools needed to build their communities for years to come.”

Through six rounds of the REDC competition, the Capital Region REDC, which includes Saratoga and Warren counties, has delivered $436.9 million for 608 projects, officials said.    

Round VII of the REDC initiative will award more than $800 million in state resources across all 10 regions, including up to $225 million in performance-based grants and tax credits from Empire State Development, and approximately $575 million from two dozen state agency programs.

The governor said the REDC process has transformed New York state government’s approach to economic development, creating a statewide framework for bottom-up economic growth and streamlining the application process for state funding. Since 2011, the first year of the initiative, over $4.6 billion has been awarded to more than 5,200 projects that are projected to create and retain more than 210,000 jobs statewide.

Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who heads the Regional Economic Development Councils said, “By empowering the people who know their communities the best, the governor has transformed this state’s economic development strategy into one that is not only successful, but is built to last. As the chair of the Regional Councils, I have seen proof that this investment in innovation and technology has revitalized our economy and there is a new confidence among local elected officials. Projects initiated with REDC funding are redeveloping our downtowns, retaining and expanding businesses, and rebuilding our infrastructure for the 21st Century.”

Adirondack Foot Care Plans To Build A New Facility To Accommodate Growing Business

Posted onApril 7, 2017

By Liz Witbeck

Adirondack Foot Care is planning on constructing a new facility for its medical practice, as well as other practices, pending the approval of the Clifton Park Town Board.

Adirondack Foot Care is located at 950 Route 146 in Clifton Park.

“We’ve grown over the years and are expanding because of our success,” said Dr. Salvatore Galluzzo, who founded Adirondack Foot and Ankle in 1991.

Galluzzo currently owns three buildings in Clifton Park: Adirondack Foot Care and Advanced Laser Med Spa, which are housed in the same building; Lab Corporation, a laboratory testing facility; and Little Lambs Daycare.

Plans are underway to construct a much larger building that would accommodate Adirondack Foot Care and Lab Corporation. In the new space, Lab Corporation would have double the amount of space they have now, he said.

The building will also have other medical practices. While Galluzzo did not want to disclose the exact businesses at this time, he said that the medical businesses who will be tenants will be new medical practices to the town of Clifton Park.

Fred Astaire Dance Studio has arrived in Saratoga Springs, a fitting location given the Spa City’s love and respect for the arts.

Elizabeth Hayner, along with partner Grey Masko, are honored to be a part of the 70-year-old dance studio and excited about what it will bring to the area.

The studio, at 426 Maple Ave., offers private and group instruction as well as parties where students can practice. There are competitions and shows for students to perform at higher levels.

The clientele is mostly adults, but Hayner said they are open to teaching any age. In March, they will be introducing new groups including, a social class on Monday nights, Latin exercise class on Tuesday afternoons, technique class on Wednesday nights, Caribbean class on Thursday nights, and a Tango class on Friday nights.

Hayner, a native of Averill Park, has been dancing since she was a child. She started with ballet, eventually transitioning to ballroom and Latin at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio, where her mom and brother also danced. It was there that Hayner met Masko. Masko grew up in Ukraine and, like Hayner, has participated in ballroom and Latin dancing since he was a child.

Grey came to the United States to work at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Latham in 2013.
