DELMAR — Jill Rifkin is a sort of Robin Hood for musical instruments.

She collects them from often well-off kids who don’t use them and redistributes them to children who can’t afford them.

Rifkin was hooked, she says, by a little boy from the Caribbean.

Precision Sports is looking to convert 5180 Western Turnpike, across the street from Guilderland Town Hall and which once housed the Nirvana Indian restaurant, into a golf performance center. 

“I think it’s a testament that we want to make sure our town is home to all residents, regardless of income,” said Guilderland Supervisor Peter Barber in his Feb. 7 State of the Town address. “It should not make a difference whether you’re a doctor or a lawyer, we want to make sure the home-care aids, the laborers, the people who do not have the same income have a welcome home in our town.”

BM Guilderland, LLC was proposing a 66-lot single-family residential cluster subdivision, with 62 of the homes accessible from either Route 146 or Concord Hill Drive and four located in a cul-de-sac at the end of Posson Road.
