The BID plays a vital role in business recruitment and retention, visual improvements and safety. To help promote downtown as a premier entertainment destination, the organization launched a new brand identity for the district in 2004: Downtown Albany: Worth Discovering Since 1609. Paying tribute to explorer Henry Hudson's historic landing, the brand helps spotlight downtown's great dining, performances and events and unites the marketing efforts of downtown stakeholders.
