Jay Square, across from City Hall is a great gathering place for lunch or to just sit and watch the people. Thursdays at noon, stop for the annual Jazz on Jay concert series and Sunday for fun with the Greenmarket. If you are looking to hold a small event in the Square, contact the DSIC at 518-377-9430 or email info@downtownschenectady.org
The Jay Square project is the result of months of planning, collaboration, and dedication of the following: Downtown Schenectady Improvement Corporation, Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority, The City of Schenectady, The Schenectady Foundation, The Carlilian Foundation, The Neil and Jane Golub Foundation, AARP Community Challenge, TW&A/Construction Management, and LAnd Art. Special thanks were given to the SEAT Center and mural artist Charlotte Mack of Create Community Studios.
