Capitalizing on our rich history and beautiful
19th century architecture the City of Troy, is one of
the Capital Region's fastest growing areas for business
and commerce. With enthusiastic financial backing from
the State of New York, the City has made significant
financial investments in the infrastructure of the downtown
and surrounding areas. The City’s most important
attributes are a robust mix of consumers, a diverse
college and university population, and an educated workforce
nurtured by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a world
class technological facility. The City’s downtown
contains numerous office facilities available to support
any influx of private sector or governmental office
workers.
Private sector collaborations such as Historic Troy
2020, and the Troy Redevelopment Foundation, have been
formed to bring together the talents and expertise of
business leaders, local and state government, academia,
the arts, and the non-profit sector to chart a course
for Troy, and to infuse financial and human resource
investment into the revitalization of the City.
