Only three of the region\u2019s 10 cities\u2014Cohoes, Gens Falls and Saratoga Springs\u2014saw their populations grow in 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">However, five cities experienced annual losses below 1 percent. They were Albany (-0.2 percent), Rensselaer (-0.3 percent), Troy (-0.3 percent), Watervliet (-0.7 percent) and Schenectady (-0.7 percent). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Out of the region\u2019s growing towns and cities, eight were in Saratoga County and two were in Warren County, CEG said. Those municipalities and the number of additional residents from 2015 to 2016 were: Saratoga Springs 31, Malta 827, Milton 229, Halfmoon 204, Moreau 134, Stillwater 96, Wilton 76, Waterford 60, Glens Falls 69, Queensbury 38.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">CEG said the annual population gains of Cohoes, Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs underscore the importance of revitalizing downtowns and, when applicable, connecting them to waterfront areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To support investments to those ends, New York last year launched a $100 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). Under this initiative and through a competitive process, one community in each of the state\u2019s 10 regions will be awarded $10 million to advance \u201cspecific catalytic, implementation-ready projects that align with the community\u2019s vision for the revitalization of their unique downtown area and are consistent with the DRI\u2019s program goals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->Glens Falls was named the Capital Region\u2019s DRI Round 1 winner, beating nine other Capital Region cities and villages. Half of the Glens Falls\u2019 DRI award will go toward a market on South Street that will strengthen the city\u2019s connection to regional agriculture resources and provide opportunities for local retailers, artisans, restaurateurs and farmers. Other projects include the relocation of SUNY Adirondack\u2019s culinary school in downtown, streetscape improvements, the development of a mile-long public arts trail through downtown and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0Applications for DRI Round 2, through which another $100 million would be awarded to 10 communities statewide, were due June 14.
