• Scaffolds & Cranes: Construction continues on Clifton Park warehouse (timesunion.com) — A major 100,000-square-foot warehouse is rising at 22 Roberts Lane in Clifton Park’s Synergy Technology Park, expanding local space for light industrial and recreational tenants through 2026. Backed by town IDA tax incentives and a $1 million FAST NY water-line grant, developer MJ Properties is already planning additional buildings depending on leasing demand, signaling more jobs and activity in the park. 
• A DIY Schenectady skatepark could receive city support through state funding (wamc.org) — Clifton Park skaters are among those flocking to a DIY riverside skatepark in Schenectady that may soon get official city backing and state funding. Local leaders are exploring upgrades to bring the once-abandoned tennis courts up to code while regular skaters hope improvements won’t erase the park’s low-key, community-built feel.
