Midtown Colleges and University District

One of the many strengths of the City of Albany is the number of fine institutions of higher education located here.  The colleges and university in the City are major centers of activity and stability in Albany's neighborhoods.  Recognizing the important role institutions of higher education can play in the revitalization of the community, the City is collaborating with Citizens Bank and targeted institutions in the central or "Midtown" portion of Albany to leverage their investment activities and programming needs to enhance their surrounding neighborhoods.
