The City of Troy has launched its new tourism campaign, "Troy Has It!", aimed toward attracting visitors both locally and beyond to visit the Collar City.

It underscores Troy's commitment to continued growth and development, showcasing the city as an attractive destination.

"This campaign not only celebrates our city's rich history and culture but also showcases our commitment to the betterment of our community. I’m confident that visitors to our vibrant city will support our businesses, art community, shop and dine,” said Troy Mayor Patrick Madden. “We are very grateful for the Troy Redevelopment Foundation's support in making this campaign a reality.”

This tourism initiative will highlight key facets of the city, such as:
