SARATOGA SPRINGS The city has taken the next step toward building a new fire/emergency medical service station on the city’s East Side, with the City Council approving a $300,000 contract for full architectural design of a new building.
The new station would be located on 2.36 acres of state land leased by the New York Racing Association that is part of the Oklahoma training track property. The state and NYRA have already signed off on the lease, which they see as boosting the level of fire protection available at the historic Saratoga Race Course.

Matt McCabe, a pillar of the Saratoga Springs music community and a former city councilor, recently died after battling COVID-19. As WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard reports, a tribute is being planned in his honor.
Matt McCabe’s Saratoga Guitar stores have been a longtime staple of the Saratoga business community. Deann Devitt, President of the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association, said news of McCabe’s death this week was a shock.
“It was at first very shocking and heartbreaking. Of course Matt was just a huge pillar of knowledge and selflessness in this community. It was a complete shock to all of us,” said Devitt.
