This is an original typescript of an agreement among New York State, Albany County, and the City of Albany to undertake the cooperative public improvement project known as the South Mall (later Empire State Plaza). The agreement was executed on May 11, 1965 by the Commissioner of General Services and Superintendent of Public Works (for the state), the chairman of the Albany County Board of Supervisors, and the Mayor of Albany. The project was devised to provide space for state offices and related facilities as part of a plan for development of the county and city, recognizing the clear effect of state government growth on the physical and economic development of the area.
