    ALBANY – When he was a child, Albany City Commissioner Demetrius Young would ride his bicycle the mile and a half from his home for activities at the Henderson Community Center. Now he is looking to oversee the demolition of the nearly 50-year-old structure that has been part of south Albany for generations.

    Completed in 1978 Henderson Gym has been identified as needing renovation for years. Because of its age and its location in a flood plain, renovations would be costly for the old building and consensus has moved to replacing it altogether.
