Using community input and an internal review of the County’s highest priorities, Albany County has developed this Strategic Investment Plan to ensure ARPA funds are used to meet the County’s immediate needs as well as to provide long-term, transformative investments for tomorrow. We are seeking public comment in order to further refine this plan as we prepare to make funds available for County priorities and to the community. The following plan is broken into three funding categories: Economic Growth and Recovery; Community Development and Public Health; and County Infrastructure and Workforce. Within each category, key focus areas are ranked in current order of funding priority based on subcommittee and public input. Please consider taking our Investment Plan survey to offer feedback on the plan.

There are three ways to provide feedback:

1. 1. Complete our NEW Investment Plan Survey
   2. Create a sample budget
   3. Attend a public meeting
