Rensselaer Adventures: What are they doing now?

What are they doing now?

Last Thursday morning I saw a truck unloading a loader just east of the airport. Coming back from the flea market/toy show at the Fair Grounds on Saturday, I noticed lot more equipment there. The machine below looks like it installs drainage tiles.

Behind it were loaders, a bulldozer, a grader, and a roller--machines that might work on building or repairing roads.

This looked like a trencher.

If anyone knows what is being planned here, could you put something in the comments? Otherwise I will have to watch the area to see what happens, and I may miss it.

reMark said...: I thought I read somewhere in the recent past that the airport got a grant for expansion. I am not 100% sure however.; September 15, 2009 at 6:57 AM

Contacting Rensselaer Adventures

To contact Rensselaer Adventures, send e-mail to rensselaeradventures at yahoo.com. (I put the @ in there originally, and of the first eight messages I received, four were the Nigerian scam and three told me I won a lottery I never entered. Maybe this change is already too late.)

If you want to comment on any specific post, (adding information or correcting a mistake I made) please use the comment area that is available on each post. That way everyone will get to see what you think, not just me.

I would love to hear from you if you have ideas of things I can write about. Even better, if you want to contribute something, I will consider it.

I will not check this address every day, so be patient. (And I almost never check my messages on Facebook, so it you send something there, the odds are that I will not see it for weeks or months.)

Also, I encourage and appreciate comments that are informative or entertaining. However, I delete comments that I think are offensive or inappropriate (which includes spam--I delete a lot of spam).
