More than two months after evacuation order, Harbour Point Gardens repairs just reach halfway point TROY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Twenty-nine out of 52 evacuated units at Harbour Point Gardens are now officially deemed safe for people to live in again, according to Troy Mayor Patrick Madden. Meanwhile, the dozens of people still displaced enter more than two months housed in a motel."Obviously, it feels good to be at the halfway point, but it would feel better to be at the finish line," Madden says Wednesday morning.Mayor Madden says progress is progress, but it’s been made agonizingly slow as even more code violations have been discovered at the Delaware Avenue complex."I’m not sure if you’re familiar, but as two-by-fours go down, they don’t rest on the foundation. There’s a plate down there, a wooden plate. Some of those sill plates were rotted or missing. Some of the timbers—the two-by-fours—were damaged in the deconstruction," he explains to NEWS10's Mikhaela Singleton."I would, as an amateur, call them structural issues," he goes on to say.The owners given yet another chance Wednesd...

Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! The case of former St. Clare’s hospital workers in Schenectady, who didn’t receive some or all of the pension money they were owed, remains unresolved.  Mary Hartshorne, Chair of the St. Clare’s Pension Recovery Alliance, said the past few months of the case have felt like big steps forward, followed by steps backward. Most recently, a stay was placed on the lawsuit because Hubbard, a defendant, passed away."Another delay? I just don’t quite know how much more we can take," Hartshone said.When the Diocese filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, a hold was placed on the lawsuit over the loss of pensions.

LOUIS – In August, 900 likely Missouri voters were asked about issues facing the Missouri LGBTQ community as a part of the 2023 SLU/YouGov Poll. At least 63% of voters think that transgender children shouldn't be able to get medical care like hormone therapy, drugs that stop puberty, or surgery that changes their gender.Governor Parson signed the "Missouri Save Adolescents from Experiment (SAFE) Act" in June.

The e-States X Factor: Matthew Schneider’s Vision for Transforming Commercial Real Estate

The e-States X Factor: Matthew Schneider’s Vision for Transforming Commercial Real Estate Matthew Schneider of e-States commercial real estate solutions wants to talk about the X Factor.“When you look at other companies in the commercial real estate space—and there’s too many making this mistake—you see a lack of engagement in the lifecycle of a property,” said Matthew, the e-States CEO. “I always use the analogy that we’re connecting the dots. And that’s our magic, as opposed to being just another incomplete, peripheral software product. There are niche solutions out there, but that isolation causes inefficiency and increases human error. It doesn’t allow you to utilize information, because everything has to be contextualized.“And so what we realized is that we’re able to provide multiple tools in the same place, consolidating information and allowing it to properly integrate, whether it’s fundraising, property management, or investor relations. We’re putting that all in the same platform. That’s a major strength for our propert...
