Mayor's Welcome

Welcome to the Albany2030 website. As Mayor of this great city, I'm proud of our rich history and diverse neighborhoods, and I am excited to participate in the development of Albany's first comprehensive plan, which will help determine what lies ahead for our Capital City.

In 2010, we plan to hold the first series of public meetings related to this comprehensive plan, in which we will begin combining all of our hopes, dreams and concerns into a common vision for our future.  Albany2030 will look forward twenty years, while at the same time considering where we are now and where we’ve been.  The plan will cover all aspects of city life: housing, recreation, transportation, sustainability, infrastructure, and more.

Hundreds of people have been involved already, and this plan will continue to grow from our collective ideas, serving as a roadmap for our Capital City for the next twenty years. I encourage all citizens and stakeholders to take part in this unique opportunity to have your voice heard and to help shape our city for future generations.  I am confident that our collective efforts will produce a document that will lead us forward, with an eye towards the past, as we strive to become a model and sustainable community in the 21st century. This is your city and your future, and I encourage you to get involved. Let’s continue to work together to ensure our Capital City remains the best place to live, work and raise a family for many years to come.

-Mayor Gerald D. Jennings
