There s new life in the cards for the long dormant Tobin Packing Company grounds in West Albany.
Under the auspices of the city of Albany and the town of Colonie, the old First Prize Center on West Albany’s Exchange Street is coming closer to development as a mixed-use facility with residential and commercial activity.
Over the last four decades there have, from time to time, been interests in the land. In 2014 the Tobin site was scouted by a developer as a prime place for a gambling casino, which eventually ended up in Schenectady.
Former Albany Common Councilor Ron Bailey said he believed the site s past as an economic driver for his Third Ward neighborhood could be resurrected.
