Statement from Mayor Gary McCarthy

“We thank Governor Hochul and NYSERDA President and CEO Doreen Harris for selecting the Rosenblum Group’s newest project in Schenectady for a Building of Excellence Award.  Only a handful of projects statewide receive this award and we are very excited that this development at the corner of Lafayette and Liberty in downtown Schenectady will benefit from the funding and recognition associated the Building of Excellence program.  This once again demonstrates Schenectady’s leadership position in both downtown development and in building a sustainable environment.”
