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.
