KATE MULLANY NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE The Kate Mullany House – 350 Eighth Street, Troy, NY Irish-born Kate Mullany (1845-1906) was an early female labor leader who started the all-women Collar Laundry Union in Troy, New York in February 1864. It was one of the first women's unions that lasted longer than the resolution of a specific issue. For an in-depth story on Mullany, the collar industry in Troy and the forming of the union, see the Kate Mullany National website: www.katemullanynhs.org The Kate Mullany House was declared a National Historic Landmark on April 1, 1998 as the result of a National Historic Landmark Theme study conducted by the National Park Service and was designated a National Historic Site by Congress on May 3, 2004. In 2006, the Kate Mullany National Historic Site was included in the New York State Women’s Heritage Trail. On September 8, 1999, members of the labor movement and community dedicated a Celtic Cross at Kate Mullany’s grave site at St. Peter’s Cemetery in Troy. The Mullany site is owned and operated as an Affiliate Unit within the National Park System by the American Labor Studies Center (ALSC). Before the site can be open to visitors, ALSC is in the process of restoration of the back porches, historic stairwell and restoration and furnishing of the Mullany third floor apartment. ALSC is seeking a state grant to move those projects forward along with it’s annual Recognition Reception as its only fundraiser. Plans are underway to develop an exhibit on Mullany and her colleagues on the first floor. .

Find these reports enclosed and part of this submission. These documents establish that the site has no archeological significance and that the existing buildings have been severely compromised due to lack ofmaintenance and substantial low quality modifications. Moreover, the rehabilitation of these buildings to create code compliant and market rate rental units would cost vastly more than the resulting value of the properties.

Transport Troy
TRANSPORT TROY Sustainable Transportation for Troy New York Accessible, Safe, Healthy, Complete Streets April 24, 2014 “Streets comprise more than 80% of public space in cities, but they often fail to provide their surrounding communities with a space where people can safely walk, bicycle, drive, take transit and socialize” NACTO Urban Street Design Guide www.nacto.org ©2014 Transport Troy Preface This document was produced by a volunteer citizen work group appointed by Mayor Lou Rosamilia in 2013 to study the conditions of Troy’s transportation network and the potential for improvement. It is the intent of this report to shape Troy’s Complete Streets policy, heighten awareness of sustainable transportation issues and trends, and identify short and long term projects to improve safety and walkability in Troy, New York. Everyone who contributed to this report comes to it with a great deal of love for the City of Troy. Whether we have lived here and worked here for decades, or are newly associated with Troy, we are drawn to Troy by its history, architecture, natural beauty and spirit. At every turn, we are faced with rising energy costs and reduced budgets. Troy faces important choices regarding how increasingly limited public infrastructure funding can serve the needs of all of its citizens, every day. The recommendations and proposals offered here prepare Troy to meet a new future in a world where communities more often compete for businesses, visitors, and homeowners. Properly planned, alternate transportation networks will encourage investment and set the stage for economic development and recreation planning.
