This week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his securing of $90 million for the New York National Guard to help relocate the 42nd Infantry Division.
The Division is seeking to relocate from its Troy home to a yet-to-be constructed facility in Colonie, on the site of the former Heritage Park baseball stadium.
For an update on the project, I spoke with Adjutant General of New York Raymond Shields, who says the Division's current space does not meet U.S. Army minimum facility requirements.
