Through hard work and vision, decay and stagnation have given way to growth and renewal. Recently, Susan E. Savage, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature, was joined by Legislators Gary Hughes, Karen Johnson, and Angelo Santabarbara, Schenectady Mayor Brian Stratton, City Councilmembers Peggy King and Denise Brucker, representatives from Congressman Paul Tonko's office and other local officials in welcoming the new YMCA Schenectady Branch to the revitalized downtown Schenectady. This project is part of a $30 million investment to replace the old Center City with a new mixed use facility which will be another draw to downtown. Click here to watch video from the event.
