🎉 The Historic Albany Foundation Merit Awards are coming up next week - and we are delighted that Hattie's Albany will be honored with the Historic Albany Foundation's 2024 Main Street Award. The renovation of the former Lombardo's has been a long and rewarding journey. It's been thrilling to see so many enjoy the space since the restaurant's launch this past March. Also in this year's awards, the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce will receive a Certificate of Recognition. The recognition of BFG's work on the former University Club's transformation into the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce is a wonderful acknowledgment of an investment into a more equitable Albany that will benefit us all. A special thank you to BFG's Project Manager Stephanie for her dedication and hard work on both of these amazing endeavors. ❤️ The 2024 Preservation Merit Awards will be presented next Wednesday, Sept. 25. Thank you Times Union Media Group for this write up. Click here to see all of this year's award winners: https://loom.ly/F7KrGkI. #preservation #historicalbany #aroundalbany
