After 12 months of regular COVID-19 updates, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy has delivered his tenth State of the County Address.
McCoy, speaking via Facebook, opened with a nod to the pandemic, setting a theme that would permeate this year’s talk.
"Every minute of every day, we're closing in on our enemy, and I shall accept nothing short of full victory." ~ Albany County Executive Dan McCoy
"The first known case of COVID-19 in Albany County was on March 12, 2020. Today marks a year that we have been at war against COVID-19 and continue in our battle against this deadly disease. Every minute of every day, we're closing in on our enemy, and I shall accept nothing short of full victory. Now's not the time to soften or relax. I have been vigilant throughout this pandemic. And to be sure, I shall remain vigilant and use all resources to deliver the final blow that will return our community back to safety."
