Learning About the Community Around You

New Albany 101

New Albany 101 is an initiative to educate residents and businesses about local government, economic development, and community resources through special events like behind-the-scenes tours of facilities (like the amphitheater or business park) and informative sessions, making government accessible and engaging citizens with City functions and leadership. It’s part of the IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility) panel’s goals, offering unique experiences beyond regular council meetings.
