AVillage..., Inc. and Grand Street Community Arts, Inc. collaborated with the Students from Saint Rose College too do a "Lot" beautification project...We planted Flowers and Trees, we also had members from the Common Council...President Carolyn McLaughlin and 2nd Ward councilman Lester Freeman, it's always a plus to have our elected officials lending a hand....The Residents of the community also came out too help!
Our "Lot" is located at the corner of 4th avenue and Elizabeth Street...Stop by and take a look at our work...The process is just the beginning of something great for our community, our next step is too also build a Staging area for the community too perform plays and song and dance..we will also have a "Big Screen" for Movie Night!!we will have all children from the community too plant more flowers...AVillage..., Inc.

Persistence Pays Off!

Our petition for CDTA service to in the South End has paid off. We got CDTA's attention and they are willing to work with us to make sure that the residents of Albany's South End, especially the disabled and the elderly, will have a route so that they can reach their destinations easily and safely. This is God's hand at work, and we are excited and blessed to be able to help our community with their transportation needs. Thanks to all who supported our cause and signed our petition. It's because of everyone that we accomplished this.
