Statement from Albany County Land Bank Executive Director Adam Zaranko regarding the adoption of Albany County’s 2023 Annual Budget

“Albany County continues to prioritize investing in reducing the number of vacant properties that harm our communities and supporting the creation of much needed affordable housing. Many of our communities are still recovering from the unprecedented impacts of the pandemic. The funding provided for the Albany County Land Bank in the Adopted 2023 Annual Budget will enable us to help rebuild neighborhoods and create more opportunities for more people.

We thank Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy, Chairman of the Legislature Andrew Joyce, and all members of the Albany County Legislature as well as their dedicated staff for their leadership and continued support. We appreciate our strong partnership with Albany County and look forward to continuing our work revitalizing neighborhoods and strengthening communities throughout Albany County in 2023 and beyond.”
