Fraternity relocation faces zoning challenge in Troy
Tau Epsilon Phi seeks to move from Second Street to First Street in Troy. Four attorneys and a dentist opposed the plan at a Planning Commission meeting, arguing it would violate local zoning in a neighborhood of offices and homes. The County Historical Society has bought the old building. The planning board’s recommendation was not available. The case will proceed to the zoning board. Two defendants in an attempted robbery, Albert Knapp and Edward Alguire, claimed they were joking about the money when confronted by an off duty officer at Pete's Superette in Troy on July 26, 1975. Knapp admitted saying we want your money we don't want to hurt anyone. He fled after the officer showed his badge. The jury’s summations were expected to begin the next morning.
