This just in. (I'm told the delay was in production at AIA, not on the part of the team.) As it turns out, that means it's coming out at the beginning of our having a comp plan board. Could be worse.
I will have comments as soon as I get to read it.
Sustainable Design Assessment Team, AIA, final report for Albany
--
Cover letter from the city:
As you probably remember, in January 2007, Albany, N.Y., submitted a proposal to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for a Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) to assist the city and its citizens in addressing key isustainability ssues facing the community. The AIA accepted the proposal and, after a preliminary visit by a small group in April, the SDAT members arrived in Albany on August 6. For three days, the team members, working closely with local officials, community leaders, technical experts, and citizens, studied the community and its concerns. During those three days, the team came to understand the issues and used its expertise to frame a wide range of recommendations, which were presented to the community in a public meeting on August 8 2007.
On behalf of Mayor Jennings, I am pleased to provide you with this electronic copy of the final Albany Sustainable Design Assessment Team Report. We look forward to working with the newly appointed Comprehensive Plan Board and the people of Albany to incorporate this report, and elements of sustainability in general, into the development of Albany's first comprehensive plan.
