Before the Empire State Plaza, 98 Acres Project

New York State appropriated 98 acres in the heart of Albany.  In the place of the many home and businesses in these 40 city blocks seized by the state, a massive modern office complex, the Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza, would arise. The city hasn’t been the same.
