A Capital Region city has been awarded a state grant to restore a historic theater.
Funding through the Restore New York Communities Initiative will assist in the rehabilitation of the historic American Theater on River Street in downtown Troy. Mayor Patrick Madden says the $778,000 grant will support Troy’s continued growth as a center for recreation, dining and culture, attracting new visitors and investment to the city’s downtown while bolstering Troy’s long-term Riverwalk expansion effort.
