Schenectady, N.Y., August 13, 2014 — The Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority today completed its updated review of the Mohawk Harbor project required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA).

Metroplex originally completed the SEQRA review of the Alco site redevelopment project in 2010. An update to the project plan was considered as the project scope has expanded to include waterfront boat access as well as the potential for a gaming facility and a second hotel.

The Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement will be posted on the Metroplex website this Friday at www.schenectadymetroplex.org.

Metroplex will take public comment on the draft report.  The public can submit written comments to Metroplex any time prior to 5 pm on September 22 or present comments to the Metroplex Board on September 11 at 6 pm.
