The project was one of 77 award submissions IDA received this year as part of its Downtown Achievement Awards. "The number and breadth of entries made judging a difficult task," said Jane Jenkins, chairman of IDA and the awards program. "The awards jury was impressed with the accomplishments of the winners and are pleased to honor the Downtown Albany BID among them."
