Hannah Rosie Mike Avella Jr. remembers petitioning alongside his father – the state government veteran Michael Avella – when he was only 10 years old. The father and son duo still work together, now at Dickinson & Avella, a strategic governmental relations firm focusing on the state Capitol. As a government affairs associate, Avella Jr. represents the interests of a multitude of clients ranging from large corporations to advocacy coalitions. “We represent so many different people,” the younger Avella says. “I don t think there s a sector that we don t touch. One minute I could be working on technology, the next one on voting rights, then criminal justice reform, and then helping out the Mets safely reopen.”

Future of Small Cities Institute presents 1st annual winter keynote

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y.Â â The Future of Small Cities Institute invites Catherine Tumber to speak about âThe Peril & Promise of Americaâs Smaller Legacy Citiesâ as the instituteâs 1st Annual Winter Keynote taking place virtually on Feb. 23 at 11 a.m. Over the past 40 years, small and midsize legacy cities (pop. 40,000-250,000) have taken a beating. They have suffered disproportionately from the liberalization of global trade, the flight of manufacturing, the rise of the digital innovation economy, the monopolization of agriculture, and the aggressive financing of suburban growth. As a result, they face ongoing depopulation, plummeting tax bases, concentrated poverty, and the development pattern known as sprawl without growth. In the final indignity, these once vital regional centers became invisible as cities, overshadowed by large global economy powerhouses and often lumped together with small towns out in flyover country.
