troy city hall

Troy’s City Council Chambers were overflowing Thursday night with several controversial items on the agenda and an annual legislative address.

Carmella Mantello made history this year after she was sworn in as the first woman mayor of Troy. Mantello, a former long-time city council president, is the first Republican mayor to lead the Collar City in more than a decade. Upon taking office in January, she said her first priority was to improve morale among city employees. She campaigned on being a hands-on mayor who will work with municipal employees to get work done. During her first year in office, Mantello declared several emergencies regarding water infrastructure, abolished the city's planning commission — replacing it with a planning board — and reimagined vacancies in city hall. WAMC's Samantha Simmons spoke with Mantello about some of her decisions that caused a stir among residents and Democratic city councilors.
