Troy Gets It Done: ARPA in Action

☑️ INVESTMENT INTO CANAL PARK COMPLETED ☑️

The City of Troy announced a significant milestone in its efforts to enhance the quality of life for its residents through the revitalization of Canal Park, with new playground equipment, bike path, fencing and landscaping. With an investment exceeding $600,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, this project marks a major step forward in creating a safer, greener and more vibrant Troy.

The Canal Park revitalization is part of a broader initiative encompassing several parks throughout the city, including Kinloch Park, Beman Park, Powers Park, 112th Street Park and Prospect Park. The improvements across these parks include the installation of splash pads, upgraded playground equipment, enhanced water drainage systems, a fitness pad, community pool upgrades, new pavilions and picnic tables. These upgrades will provide safe, enjoyable spaces for all residents.

Homeownership shouldn't exclude low-income households. That's why Habitat for Humanity Capital District is working to strengthen the fabric of our neighborhoods by constructing four single-family, sustainable homes on Park Avenue.

As we say goodbye to 2023, let's look at how our city's ARPA funding has impacted our community.
