Council Rescinds Village Project Development Agreement

The Albany City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to rescind an ordinance approving the University Village Mixed Use Project Development Agreement.

The repeal allows the city to avoid calling a special election to put the agreement to a vote. It "will have no effect on the other City Council actions" connected to the project, according to a staff report.

U.C. representatives at the council meeting said the project to develop a grocery store and senior housing complex at University Village will move forward as planned.
