Cohoes, Green Island & Watervliet

Cohoes, Green Island and Watervliet are dubbed the "Three Amigos" by New York Assemblyman John McDonald, the former Cohoes mayor.

Located on the northern edge of Albany County, these three Hudson riverfront communities were historically manufacturing centers that are now experiencing an exciting period of revitalization.
