Considered as a DMV location

[edit]

In mid-1990, Schenectady County considered moving a DMV office in either Crosstown Plaza, Mohawk Mall, or Rotterdam Square Mall.[28] However, the county legislature ultimately decided against the move. If moved, annual rent at Crosstown Plaza would have cost $29,640.[29]

Ownership

[edit]

As of July, 1990, Crosstown Plaza was owned by Wade Lupe Construction Company, a developer in Schenectady County.[29][1] By April, 1994, the construction company's name was Hexam Gardens Construction Company.[13]
