At last night's meeting at HVCC, we saw some slides showing the proposed footprint for the HVCC dorms to be built at the site of the former Immaculate Conception monastery (and Nail Factory Cemetery). Demolition of the monastery and construction of the dorms is tentatively scheduled to begin in early 2015. There are some plan documents on the city of Troy's website, at this link http://www.troyny.gov/cityprojects/hvccstudenthousing.aspx We were told that there would be no construction at the cemetery. Specific maps (surveys done by Hartgen Archeological Services) showing the location of the former Nail Factory Cemetery (aka Sixth Ward Cemetery) are here: http://www.troyny.gov/Libraries/City_Projects/Presentation061114.sflb.ashx On the slide labeled "Site Plan Current" the area of the cemetery is labeled "Existing Trees to Remain". Perhaps this project should include some (TIGS-sponsored?) interpretive signage of the former cemetery? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nytigs/NailFactoryCemetery/NailFactoryCemeteryIntro.htm The next public discussion regarding the proposed dorm will take place during the City of Troy Planning Board Meeting scheduled for 6pm on Sept 11 at City Hall.
