Albany Mayoral Forum on Sustainability

NYLCVEF organized the first-ever Albany Mayoral Forum on Sustainability took place on July 2, 2013.

Scores of local residents turned out at WAMC’s The Linda and countless others listened online as the major candidates discussed their views on the sustainability challenges facing Albany.

The forum also garnered significant press coverage, including in the Albany Times Union, WAMC and the Schenectady Daily Gazette.

There was no shortage of debate between the candidates, even confrontation at times. Topics ranged from the issues of backyard chickens to land banks and much, much more.

The Albany Mayoral Forum on Sustainability was a great success with the help of our co-host, WAMC. The forum was moderated by WAMC’s Dr. Alan Chartock and NYLCVEF President Marcia Bystryn.
