Glens Falls and Queensbury are among the\u00a0 <\/span>municipalities that grew in population from 2015 to 2016, according to a Center for Economic Growth analysis of U.S. Census Bureau estimates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also growing were municipalities in Saratoga County, according to the data.<\/span><\/p>\n

CEG officials said that between July 1, 2015 and July 1, 2016, populations increased in 22 and decreased in 96 Capital Region towns and cities. Only three of the region\u2019s 10 cities\u2014Cohoes, Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs\u2014saw their populations grow in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, five cities experienced annual losses below 1 percent. They were Albany (-0.2 percent), Rensselaer (-0.3 percent), Troy (-0.3 percent), Watervliet (-0.7 percent) and Schenectady (-0.7 percent).<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the region\u2019s growing towns and cities, two were in Warren County, CEG said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Area municipalities and the number of addition residents from 2015 to 2016 were: Saratoga Springs 31, Malta 827, Milton 229, Halfmoon 204, Moreau 134, Stillwater 96, Wilton 76, Waterford 60, Glens Falls 69 and Queensbury 38.<\/span><\/p>\n

CEG said the annual population gains of Cohoes, Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs underscore the importance of revitalizing downtowns and, when applicable, connecting them to waterfront areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

To support investments to those ends, New York last year launched a $100 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI).<\/span><\/p>\n

Glens Falls was named the Capital Region\u2019s DRI Round 1 winner, beating nine other Capital Region cities and villages. Half of the Glens Falls\u2019 DRI award would go toward a market on South Street that would strengthen the city\u2019s connection to regional agriculture resources and provide opportunities for local retailers, artisans, restaurateurs and farmers. Other projects include the relocation of SUNY Adirondack\u2019s culinary school in downtown, streetscape improvements, the development of a mile-long public arts trail through downtown and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications for DRI Round 2, through which another $100 million would be awarded to 10 communities statewide, were due June 14. Awards will be announced in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
