Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced June 2 the groundbreaking of Thacher Park Center, a $3.8 million project at the 2,500-acre park on Albany County’s Helderberg Escarpment. “Thacher State Park is true gem for the Capital Region, and we are committed to making it more accessible for families and visitors,” Governor Cuomo said in a press release. The center is at the trailhead and picnic area of the Indian Ladder Trail. State Senator George Amedore, who represents Greene County and the part of Albany County where the park is located, said, "Thacher Park is a jewel within the Capital Region, and the new Visitor Center is a welcome addition that will highlight the expanded recreational facilities the park has to offer and help to attract even more visitors to enjoy this beautiful natural resource.”
