SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — A production company is gearing up to shoot the next season of a show in Schenectady, using the old armory as a sound stage and venturing out for location shots in the area.

But Amazon and the production company putting the series together, Picrow, have declined to publicize any plans in Schenectady or authorize its discussion.

So the owner of the armory and county officials are left speaking in circumspect fashion, as temporary fencing, generators capable of producing 100,000 watts of electricity and an air-conditioning system rated at 2.4 million BTUs are set up outside the armory.

The county and city have been cooperating with the effort, with the city agreeing to close side streets around the armory and the county arranging for parking.

Accommodations have been secured in apartments and hotels for cast members and 100 to 120 crew members, while restaurants are being hired to cater on-site dining for the cast and crew.
