But the city also has strategic advantages -- like its central location in the scenic Mohawk River Valley close to Albany. Additionally, the presence of top-flight universities and high-tech firms provide Schenectady with rich sources of human capital.

Implementing a comprehensive sustainability agenda will position Schenectady to take advantage of a burgeoning green economy. Through creative planning and the application of sustainable development practices, Schenectady can once again become the "City of Invention."

• A Comprehensive Sustainability Agenda
• Smart Growth & Sustainable Development
• Energy Conservation & Climate Action
