=== 2000 to today === Like many old industrial cities, Troy has had to deal with the loss of its manufacturing base, loss of population and wealth to the suburbs, and to other parts of the country. This led to dilapidation and disinvestment until later efforts were made to preserve Troy's architectural and cultural past. {{As of|2014}}, Troy is updating its citywide comprehensive plan for the first time in more than 50 years.<ref name="Times Union">{{cite news |title=Troy plans for first citywide plan in 52 years |author=Kenneth C.
