U

nprecedented transformation is underway throughout the City of Albany.

Communities surrounding institutional anchors like Albany Medical Center are thriving as new investments come through the pipeline.

Capitalize Albany Corporation works with property owners and developers on each project individually to determine specific needs and enhance a project’s direct positive impact on the surrounding neighborhood, community, local economy and built environment.

STRATEGY GUIDES IMPLEMENTATION T

he team at Capitalize Albany takes an integrated, strategic approach. All efforts of the Corporation are guided by two foundational plans - the Capitalize Albany economic development strategy and the Albany 2030 comprehensive plan. Each initiative undertaken by the Corporation is aimed at implementing these goal-oriented strategic plans and developed with public input.

Transformation and activity is already taking place attributable to these plans. These plans have led to more than $1 billion invested in Albany's neighborhoods, including more than $214 million of investment completed in Downtown in the past two years.

Capitalize Albany continues to drive this implementation and catalyze growth through strategic project development.

12

Reconnecting and adding vibrancy to Albany's riverfront was identified as a priority by Impact Downtown.

Working together, we will capitalize on the current momentum to build a better Albany.

The transformative, city-wide projects outlined in this publication would not be possible without Capitalize Albany’s strategic partners and the collaboration between our organizations.

Staff obtains critical feedback on project proposals through public engagement sessions, such as the Clinton Square DRI workshop.
