The Downtown Troy Marina held its grand reopening Tuesday morning with a promise of drawing new visitors to downtown.

Kayak rental and canal tours are among the new offerings at the marina in addition to the docking and boating services.

"The marina is a key component to the success of the city," Mayor Lou Rosamilia said while standing at the city-owned marina on the Hudson River.

Downtown Troy Marina, LLC, a partnership between Tom Nardacci, president of Gramercy Communications, and Jeff Buell, owner of Sequence Development, have taken over the marina operations under a one-year contract with the city.
