Greetings!
What an amazing season we've had here at the Downtown Troy BID and we've got even more exciting things coming up on the horizon.
We were able to connect with a photographer and blogger who came to visit Troy and took some beautiful shots of our downtown. Check out the work here.
This week we will start the installation of our new downtown Troy banners. Prepare to be amazed at how these bright new designs will enliven our already beautiful downtown streets.
We had an record breaking Troy Night Out last month with the merge of the RPI and Sage Welcome Fest event. Many of our downtown businesses reported handing out over 500 promotional flyers to incoming students during the three hour event.
Restaurant Week and Chowderfest are both coming up, and the BID marketing committee is preparing to take over 787 with a digital billboard campaign for our Fall and Holiday campaigns.
Are we busy? Yes! Is that how we love it? You know it! Stay in the loop and follow us on social media for daily downtown news.
Thanks for your support and enjoy Troy!

Here at the Downtown Troy Business Improvement District we would like to thank everyone who participated, and attended our concerts all season long.
