| Albany, New York. Albany enjoys a vibrant downtown,
a rich mixture of historical neighborhoods, and an exciting
variety of arts, cultural and entertainment opportunities. Albany
serves as the capital of New York State and it has a population
of approximately 100,000. As a city that has existed for over
300 years, Albany has played a critically important role throughout
the history of New York State, as well as the entire nation. |
| The City of Albany has experienced unprecedented progress
and development during the past ten years. Over $1 billion in
economic development projects have been implemented through
the innovative and successful Capitalize Albany program. Our
downtown has significantly benefited from the recent construction
of new office buildings for State government offices and private
corporations, in addition to thousands of new parking spaces
that are available as a result of the opening of three new parking
garages. In 2002 we were able to restore the historic link between
downtown Albany and the beautiful Hudson River with the opening
of the Hudson River Way Pedestrian Bridge and the construction
of a multi-purpose amphitheater at the Corning Park. We also
enhanced the vibrant arts and entertainment district in 2003
with the multi-million dollar restoration of the historic Palace
Theatre, a venue that is now host to world class entertainers
that complements the Pepsi Arena in our downtown district, along
with other cultural and entertainment institutions. |
| Albany's historic and diverse neighborhoods remain the foundation
of our City. We have a rich variety of architecture that adds
to the unique fabric of our City. We successfully invested over
$4.1 million on public and private funds through our C-1 Program
to improve the areas of Albany that have a mixed blend of residential
and commercial buildings. These investments have enhanced the
small "main street" environment that is enjoyed by
many of our neighborhoods. |
| Albany is considered to be the economic and cultural center
of the Capital Region of New York State. We are at the crossroads
of other urban areas such as New York City, Boston and Montreal.
The Albany International Airport and the Amtrak train station
are both first class transportation centers that allow for convenient
travel to Albany. Our terrific national resources including
proximity to the Adirondack Mountains, the Catskill Mountains,
the Hudson River and the Mohawk River add to the high quality
of life that we enjoy in Albany. |
