Economic Impact

The Albany Capital Center (ACC) is an important economic engine in the Capital Region. When visitors are drawn to our area for events or conferences, they spend money on overnight hotel accommodations, transportation, food and beverage, entertainment and shopping, thus generating new visitor spending, as well as state and county taxes.

A Track Record of Success
