Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy’s fourth “State of the County” tour gets underway next week.

McCoy says the tour enables him to speak directly with residents in area municipalities about issues that are impacting them and to provide a brief update on county initiatives. McCoy spokeswoman Mary Rozak:

"Dan will be in the Town of Bethlehem on Wednesday, July 8th, the Town of Colonie, Thursday, July 9th, the Town of Coeymans Monday, July 27th and the Town of Guilderland Tuesday, September 1st"

There are other dates to be announced for other locations.  McCoy faces a primary challenge in September form former Albany School Board member Dan Egan.
