The new Rensselaer County offices at 99 Troy Road in East Greenbush will also include the flagship office for Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
The offices for Congresswoman Stefanik are the first congressional offices to be opened in Rensselaer County in recent memory. Former Congressman Jerry Solomon maintained offices in East Greenbush in the 1980s and former Congressman Michael McNulty operated an office in downtown Troy two decades ago.
Through the 2022 congressional redistricting, Congresswoman Stefanik became representative of most of Rensselaer County. She represents 14 out of the 16 municipalities in the County, with the exception of Troy and Rensselaer, along with half of North Greenbush.
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik stated, “My office is known for delivering exceptional constituent services and we look forward to serving the people of Rensselaer County in New York’s 21st Congressional District.”
The lease agreement between Rensselaer County and Congress for the offices for Congresswoman Stefanik will be considered at a future meeting of the County Legislature.
The County moved into 99 Troy Road in mid-December as part of the Reimagine Rensselaer County Facilities. The Reimagine plan moves a number of County offices that were located in the County Office Building to 99 Troy Road. Other County offices located elsewhere in downtown Troy, including the Department of Social Services and Probation Department, will be moved to the current County Office Building in Troy.
Congresswoman Stefanik’s offices are expected to be open in early February.
