Albany Capital Center performance and visitors' tax
The center cut its projected $900,000 operating loss to about $500,000 and generated nearly $1 million in county sales tax in 2025.
County workforce shortages and internship pipeline
Minimal budget impact expected for 2026; 2027 costs still being worked out, and legislators want a say on intern pay.
