Albany - Albany city commissioners want to give you time to weigh in on a new entertainment district, before approving the zoning changes.

The Riverfront District would encompass a large area of downtown, across both sides of the river.

The commission plans to hold a public hearing within the next 30 days and vote on implementing the new zone next month.
