Curious about life in CapNY? The CapNY Connectors will give you the inside scoop!
The best way to learn about New York’s Capital Region is from the people who call it home.

They work in diverse industries, pursue their unique interests, and come from all walks of life—and they all look forward to meeting you!

“When my husband and I first moved to the Capital Region from Portland, OR, we fell in love with the breezy and beautiful environment immediately. It fits perfectly with our lifestyles and raising our children here. Summer hiking, fall scenery viewing, winter skiing and spring road trips have brought pleasure all year round! Not to mention the professional development opportunities I’ve received are substantial. The Capital Region makes us thrive.”
