About Us

Located in the heart of New York's new Tech Valley, a region JP Morgan cites as one of the fastest-growing metros in the state, Rensselaer County is energized by dynamics. Entrepreneurs and corporate executives. High-tech start-ups and global companies. World-class educational institutions and brimming apple orchards. Architectural skylines and wide-open spaces. Connected to everywhere, and still close-knit. It's all right for relocation.

Rensselaer County and the surrounding Capital Region (including Albany, Schenectady and Troy) are making headlines. Read what the buzz is all about.
