Tara Kitchen owner, Aneesa Waheed received site plan approval from the Schenectady City Planning Commission to renovate the existing building into a Moroccan style spa.

The old weigh station at Van Guysling Avenue and Clinton Street will become Tara Hammam. A hammam is a traditional spa in the Islamic world, descended from the bath houses of the old Ottoman Empire.
