Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy has put the health and public safety of Albany County residents first in what has become a battle over the transportation of crude oil through the county. In January 2014, the CE sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo that the application made at the Port of Albany by Global to expand operations was not in the best interests of residents. That lead to the Governor directing five state agencies to investigate and public comment periods were extended until late last fall.
