The Albany Port District Commission (APDC) strives to responsibly and effectively manage the publicly owned maritime Port of Albany-Rensselaer, which contributes to the economy of the Capital Region of New York State while exercising stellar public stewardship in a transparent manner. The Port of Albany is a year-round, 24-hour operation encompassing almost 300 acres (100 hectares) within two municipalities. It directly and indirectly employs hundreds of people and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in regional and state-wide economic output.
