Albany County is considering moving some of its downtown offices into buildings on the former College of Saint Rose campus in the hopes of converting some of its current offices into housing.

County Executive Dan McCoy is looking to move about 600 workers from their State Street office.

McCoy is also thinking of moving the Department of Social Services.

This comes as the Pine Hills Land Authority is expected to finalize its purchase of the former college campus early next month.
