Albany County Republican & Conservative Conference Agenda 

ALBANY, NY – Albany County today officially launched the “USA-250” Commission with the ceremonial swearing in of its members, after they announced plans to help prepare the County for the American Revolution Anniversary Celebration in 2026. Below is a quote from Commission Chair and Albany County Legislator Jeff Perlee on today’s announcement:

 

“In Albany County, our recently formed ‘USA-250’ Commission has been laying the groundwork to prepare for the 250th Anniversary of the American War of Independence. I am honored to chair the Commission as we push to commemorate this historic milestone locally, but my fellow Commission members and I know we can’t do it alone. We need the public’s help in promoting tourism, education and economic development opportunities for this celebration. Our launch today is the beginning of a long-term strategy to capitalize on our amazing Revolutionary history. I thank County Executive Dan McCoy and my Legislative colleagues for supporting our efforts. Together, with help from local residents and other partners, we can ensure the entire nation knows Albany County was the ‘Crossroads of the Revolution,’” said County Legislator Jeff Perlee, Chairman of the Albany County USA-250 Commission.
