The Center for Urban Research Education & Training, CURET, had its ‘Grand Open House Celebration & Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony” yesterday, June 17th, at 5pm. This wonderful event had a huge turnout, and doubled as a celebration of the Caribbean Heritage Month of June. Many notable public figures and important guests were present, and everyone was enjoying themselves and the atmosphere. CURET has been helping to educate the local community in literacy and computer skills, and has been a great asset to our corridor. Congratulations to CURET.

About Us

Upper Albany Main Street (UAMS) is “the Avenue’s” leading community-business organization. Upper Albany Main Street views economic development as the principal catalyst for improving the quality of life on the Avenue for all those who live, work and visit this historic and diverse neighborhood. The “central customer base” comprises the residents and business owners, but the “global customer base” is the broader community because Upper Albany is a gateway community, and its success will have a positive impact on the overall renaissance of the City. By capitalizing on the rich African American and West Indian heritage of our neighborhood, UAMS can develop Upper Albany into a “destination” that brings people who might not otherwise find an occasion to visit. Upper Albany Main Street will continue to seek the necessary resources to add value to each and every constituency that has a vested interest in our neighborhood.
