Monday, April 6th, 2015
While there are those who feel progress has been slow to revitalize downtown Albany, Josh Rogers, president and CEO of NewTownMacon, says that city’s answer was for midtown success could be summed up in a single word — lofts.
“Almost full-stop residential housing is the answer,” Rogers said at a meeting last week of the Albany Rotary Club, “There are a number of residential trends that are playing out right now.
“The millennial generation doesn’t buy houses, and one of their highest priorities in choosing housing is walkability. That creates a tremendous opportunity for downtowns across the country.”
