June 11, 2024Legacy Project Ribbon Cutting
On May 18 in Glenville, the Legacy Project held its official ribbon cutting for a very ambitious undertaking that is still underway – the development of an 11-county regional Veterans resource center, information center, memorial, museum, café, interpretive park, and more. This complex is being erected on a six-acre parcel at the intersection of Dutch Meadows Lane and Route 50. The Legacy Project is, according to their website, “a grassroots effort to create a respite in which all Veterans, their families, and the public can experience a place of welcome, camaraderie, remembrance, and even vindication. This will be a place of solitude, comfort, and peace that allows Veterans and their families to perhaps heal the invisible wounds of war.”
A large number of dignitaries joined outgoing Glenville Town Supervisor Chris Koetzle, area veterans, President Mary Brandt, and leaders of the Legacy Project in dedicating their growing complex at the intersection of Dutch Meadows Lane and Route 50, including Congressman Paul Tonko, State Senator Jim Tedisco, Assemblyman Robert Smullen, Abby Burke representing Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh, plus members of the Schenectady City Council and County Legislature. Garry Packer, a volunteer for the Legacy Project, also represented the Capital Region Chamber Ambassadors team along with Ron Mason and Timothy Williams, himself a veteran.

All 2024 ribbon cuttings of the Capital Region Chamber and its affiliates are sponsored by Community Bank, N.A.
