    “Seeing the Rescue Plan signed into law by the President…resulted in direct aid to the city of Albany – unprecedented funding to allow us to replace our lost revenue, as well as to invest in our communities in ways that address the inequities that were really laid bare by the pandemic,” said Mayor Sheehan.
