Albany County leaders on Monday named six people to serve on the seven-member land authority created to redevelop dozens of former College of Saint Rose properties left vacant by its recent closure.

County Executive Dan McCoy announced four appointees to the Albany County Pine Hills Land Authority, while county Legislature chair Joanne Cunningham selected two. The final seat will be filled by Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan.

McCoy appointed Dominic Mazza, who has decades of government experience in New York state, John Nigro, president of Nigro Properties, Alejandra Paulino, the secretary of the state Senate, and Alison Walsh, vice president for real estate development and planning at Empire State Development.

“I am pleased so many people were interested in serving and it was difficult to select only four members,” said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy. “I’d like to thank these qualified individuals in advance for what will be a challenging task."

Cunningham picked Sarah Reginelli, former president and CEO of Capitalize Albany Corporation, and Jasmine Higgins, a fifth-generation resident of Pine Hills and COO of GLS, an economic development and public affairs consulting firm.

A bill signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in June created the authority.

If the authority exercises a right to purchase the campus and is the successful bidder, it would responsible for the planning, operation and development of the facilities, and issuing of bonds, collecting fees and other income, Sheehan said last month.

The authority is charged with "creating a sustainable blueprint that will benefit the community for years to come," McCoy said.
