I’m confident that visitors to our vibrant city will support our businesses, art community, shop and dine,” said Troy Mayor Patrick Madden. “We are very grateful for the Troy Redevelopment Foundation's support in making this campaign a reality.”

This tourism initiative will highlight key facets of the city, such as:
