Everyone is welcome at the meetings, and there will be prize raffles and complimentary light refreshments available.  See the Upcoming Events page for more details.

Round 3 of the large public meetings will be held September 30th, October 1st and 2nd.  Each meeting will last approximately three hours, and will be held at three different times of day.  Thursday, September 30th will start at 6:30 p.m..  Friday, October 1st will start at 9:00 a.m..  And Saturday, October 2nd will start at 1:00 p.m.  The agendas for each of the meetings will be the same, so you only need to make time for one.

Thanks to all involved in making the April Forums a great success!

More than 100 people participated over April 22, 23, and 24th at our Round 2 Public Forums. We had overwhelmingly positive feedback on the draft Albany 2030 Vision, and the community came up with some inspired and creative goals and strategies to make that vision a reality by 2030. If you didn't get a chance to stop by, or want to weigh in directly on another component of the Vision, host our Round 2 Albany 2030 House Party.  This allows you to run the same meeting in your home, office or classroom.  There are dozens of other ways to participate - more than 1,000 of you have contributed in some way so far!
