II. Executive Director’s Report
Last Meeting – This will be my last meeting as Executive Director and I am glad to
say I will be leaving the LDC in a better position than how we found it. Dylan Turek
will serve as Acting Commissioner of Planning as of July 1 and until formally
confirmed by the City and the Board acknowledged that Mr. Turek is appointed and
will serve as Acting Executive Director of the LDC starting July 1, 2023. The ongoing
project at the King Fuels site is in good shape. Many thanks to Andrew Kreshik for
his help in moving this forward. Next will be to sell the property.
Alamo – The check for this sale is in process and we should have it very soon.
Preservation Loan – We have an open loan with the Troy CRC. No updates on this
but may come up in discussion at future meetings.
BSM Banquets – This is our only open loan currently and it is behind. I have not
received any updates or payments since we learned the building did not sell.
16 Northern Drive – This property is owned by the LDC and Dylan is working with
prospective buyers as we speak.
Federal Street – The closing for this property will be soon along with the PILOT.
This board will receive a portion of the funds received at the closing.

Monument Square – This board was a part of the Monument Square project with
Hoboken Brownstone. The Land Development Agreement expiring in August and will

this.
District Geothermal – All items related to this project are open and being handled
by Dylan.
ARPA Business Grant – This project is also being handled by Dylan and moving
forward.
Property – There are two properties lined up for us to own: a small piece of land on
Congress Street near the City Station buildings and the Sperry Warehouse. The
Sperry Warehouse is not going to change hands if there is no project in place.
