Troy wants a developer to take down two boarded-up former public housing towers on the city's waterfront and build something new in their place.
The Troy Housing Authority will issue a request for qualifications to demolish and replace Buildings 1 and 2 of the John P. Taylor Apartments, according to the Times Union.
Thomas Hulihan, the authority's director of planning and program development, told the Times Union it could select a developer within a couple of months and start work this year.
