All Over Albany

Do you have an idea for $500 million

CAPITAL 20.20 -- the working group that's developing the Capital Region's pitch for one of the three $500 million awards in the state's Upstate Revitalization Initiative -- has a series of "town hall" events lined up this week for gathering public input.

Project blurbage:

The purpose of each region's Revitalization Plan will be to 1) provide a well-researched and credible argument that the region is ready for revitalization; and 2) to describe the transformation that will happen in the region if granted those funds.

The project is also gathering input via a survey.

The schedule of public events this week is after the jump. The first one is in Colonie late this afternoon (Monday). There are also events in Troy, Schenectady, and Malta this week.
