Committees

Main Street Albany follows the revitalization framework developed by the National Trust Main Street Program. The Main Street Four Point Approach helps to create a sustainable organization that functions as a revitalization leader for the community. These four committees operate within that framework. If you have a passion or interest in any of these areas, please contact the committee chair listed below. New volunteers are always welcome!
