“The START-UP NY initiative demonstrates the state’s ongoing commitment to attracting businesses and spurring job growth in Upstate New York. By providing incentives and reducing burdensome regulations for eligible businesses around local campuses, we are giving companies every reason to create good-paying jobs right here. This legislation will also provide protections for currently established businesses, ensuring that we support those that have already been contributing to our economy.
“Our SUNY schools and private universities are valuable assets that attract talent to the area. By creating jobs and opportunities for our young people, this program will encourage them to stay local and continue to strengthen the North Country’s economy.”
