Thank you for your engagement in Phase 1 of the Downtown Albany Strategy, where together we set the vision and priorities for downtown's future growth.
Now we're in Phase 2, which focuses on identifying focused development opportunities, policies, and programs that will make the biggest difference for downtown and Albany as a whole—and we need your input to help guide those decisions.
Join us for an Open House on Wednesday, November 12th, to share your thoughts on the development strategies that are being considered to help make downtown Albany an even better place to live, work, and visit.
At this interactive open house, you’ll join the project team for a guided walk-through of exhibits showcasing the current ideas for the Downtown Albany Strategy. Stop by anytime during the event—plan to spend about 45 minutes to an hour learning, sharing your thoughts and providing real-time feedback to help guide what comes next for downtown Albany.
RSVPs are optional but appreciated, as they help us plan for a welcoming, accessible experience. Let us know if you plan on coming.
