As Promised, Mayor Mantello Announces Public Meeting Schedule on Future Permanent Home of Troy City Hall
(TROY, NY) - Following the historic announcement that Troy City Hall will move to the iconic Proctors Theatre on January 1, 2027, Mayor Carmella Mantello today released the schedule for three public meetings aimed at engaging residents on the vision for the new, permanent home of Troy’s city government.
For too long, Troy City Hall has operated out of a costly rental floor, placing an unnecessary financial burden on the city’s taxpayers. The move to the historic Proctors Theatre represents a major step toward fiscal responsibility, historic preservation, accessibility, and civic pride.
“These public meetings are an important opportunity to hear directly from our residents,” said Mayor Carmella Mantello. “This move not only lifts a financial weight off our taxpayers but also gives us a chance to preserve and reimagine one of Troy’s most historic landmarks. We want the community to be our partner in shaping what this new, permanent City Hall will look like - from the assembly space to the historic exhibits in the lobby. Troy belongs to all of us, and so should our City Hall.”
The purpose of the public meetings is to hear from residents about what they would like to see in the new, permanent City Hall and share updates on renovation plans. Key features of the project include:
- A renovated theater interior to house the new Assembly Hall
- A historic lobby celebrating and showcasing the rich history of Troy and Proctors Theatre
- Daily use of the 5th Avenue parking garage by City Hall employees, with a parking study confirming adequate space for Proctors’ tenants, local residents, and city personnel
The public meeting schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday, July 16 at 6:00 PM – Italian Community Center, 1450 5th Ave
- Wednesday, July 23 at 6:00 PM – Lansingburgh Boys and Girls Club, 501 4th Ave
- Wednesday, August 13 at 6:00 PM – Open House at Proctors Theatre, 82 4th Street
Residents are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and share ideas. More information will be made available on the City’s website and social media channels in the coming weeks.
