Nine More Buildings To Receive Façade Improvements

The unified economic development team put in place by the new Democratic Majority on the county Legislature in 2004 continues to produce results. The Metroplex Development Authority recently announced that nine more buildings in downtown Schenectady will undertake façade improvement projects, bringing the total number of building owners that have used the downtown façade program to 101.

“The County is proud of our efforts to redevelop downtown Schenectady,” said Susan E. Savage, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature. “These nine projects are key to continuing the momentum that is transforming the appearance of downtown Schenectady and the entire County.”

The nine projects represent a $230,000 investment from Metroplex which will be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis by property owners. Since the program started, the private sector match has exceeded Metroplex’s contribution by a 2 to 1 margin.
