The Finger Lakes region will get $80.5 million … supporting 97 economic development projects around the area as the state hands out Round Six of the Regional Economic Development Council grants. New York is presenting more than $700 million to regional development councils statewide.
Projects for the Finger Lakes range from a downtown public market for Batavia to modernization of the Floreano Riverside Convention Center in Rochester.
Governor Cuomo says this is both advancing regional economies and rebuilding the state’s infrastructure. He says Upstate with its trained workforce and now with lower state taxes is now moving in the right direction.
