The Schenectady County Legislature is moving toward approval of $6.6 million in additional borrowing by its Metroplex Development Authority.

The borrowing — through bond anticipation notes — would pay for a variety of projects, including conversion of the former Macy’s at the ViaPort Rotterdam mall into office space and construction of the 1.3-mile Alco Heritage Trail, a new section of the Mohawk Hudson bike path.

The borrowing was approved Monday by the Legislature’s Economic Development and Ways and Means committees, clearing the way for a vote by the full Legislature on Tuesday, Oct. 10.
