Airport Authority CEO Philip Calderone announced Friday that the authority will conduct a feasibility study of locating a hotel on the north side of Albany-Shaker Road, on land controlled by the Albany International Airport.
"Today's travelers are seeking overnight lodging in close proximity to airport terminals and parking," Calderone said.
