Schenectady pulls back on trash overhaul, keeps bulk item changes The Schenectady City Council receives overwhelming negative feedback on proposed changes to the garbage collection system, leading to a reevaluation of the plans and adjustments to address residents' concerns.

Thanks for all the good work you do.

May is , and we're proud to be part of a national network of nearly 1,000 agencies working every day to help families move out of poverty.

Here's what that looks like in Schenectady County:
◆ Nearly 4,000 households served annually
◆ 97% of clients showed improvement in at least one life domain
◆ 500 children in our Early Learning programs
◆ 90¢ of every dollar goes directly to services

For 60 years, SCAP has been helping people help themselves. That's Community Action. That's our promise.

When we asked, Schenectady Metroplex representatives said they weren't interested in public input on this. We'll reserve judgement until we see the artwork.

Work has started on a new Metroplex mural this time on Upper Union Street next to Subway. The mural will pay homage to Central Park.
