Welcome to Albany!

Nestled in the hills of southeast Ohio and with just under 1,000 residents, Albany is the 3rd largest village in Athens county. Albany enjoys a thriving business community while maintaining our small-town charm. Albany is a place where the welcome mat is ALWAYS out!

Despite our rural setting, Albany is conveniently close to big city amenities;

  • transpotation (Athens Transit)
  • safety services (Police, Fire, EMS)
  • medical care (Holzer Clinic)
  • education (Alexander Schools)
  • government
  • and more…

A RICH HERITAGE AND BRIGHT FUTURE.

Our community is thriving, and exciting opportunities lie ahead for Albany. Be a part of this journey as we celebrate our history and step boldly into the future.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS A KEY DRIVER FOR THE VILLAGE.

  • While the past few years have been spent creating the infrastructure needed to meet future growth such as sanitary-sewer and zoning, the Village is now focused on promoting our existing businesses while bringing new-to-the-area companies that will bring investment dollars, growth, local career opportunities and affordable housing for our future generations.
  • US Route 50, the Ohio University Gordon K. Bush Airport, available rail service and infrastructure are all important tools that will help us on this long journey.
  • Albany is currently working on park improvements, historical downtown development, and other ways to help our community maintain a family-friendly image.
