The Empire Award has been given to the Troy Architectural Program for working with Rensselaer on its Neighborhood Renewal Initiatives.
The program was established last year to improve the livability of Troy’s neighborhoods, promote economic development, and stabilize property values. Among the initiatives of the program is the Homebuyer Incentive Program, which offers $5,000 to members of the Rensselaer community who buy homes in certain Troy neighborhoods.
The TAP was founded in 1969 by RPI students and faculty as a non profit corporation.
