Ground broken on new center in Albany

ALBANY, NY (WRGB)--Donning hard hats and shovels, local leaders broke ground on the new Albany Damien Center site.

The agency that supports people with HIV and AIDS is housed in a temporary location after the original location was destroyed in a fire back in 2013.

The new building will be home for the center and include 20 apartments to provide members with a secure and safe place to live.
