A Proclamation in Albany

A group toast. l-r: Historic Albany Foundation Board President Matt Malette, Congressman Paul D. Tonko, Historic Albany Foundation Executive Director Pam Howard; Preservation League President Jay DiLorenzo, Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan, NYS Assemblymember John T. McDonald, and Albany City Treasurer Darius Shahinfar.

On Wednesday, March 27, alongside our colleagues at Historic Albany Foundation (who are also celebrating their 50th Anniversary!) the League received a proclamation from Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan. In addition to the Mayor, we were honored that both Congressman Paul D. Tonko and NYS Assemblymember John T. McDonald were on hand to show their support. Relationships with elected officials like Rep. Tonko and AM McDonald are essential to our statewide work and we are grateful for their continued support of historic preservation in NYS.

The League works statewide, but our home from the very earliest days has been the City of Albany. We are truly grateful for this recognition from the Mayor’s office and were delighted to share the occasion with our colleagues from Historic Albany Foundation. Many thanks to Mayor Sheehan and her staff for making this event happen, and to Rep. Tonko and AM McDonald for the recognition!
