Regional Economic Development Council Awards Ceremony
Governor Cuomo announced the funding awarded through Round VIII of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative to drive local economies forward and implement strategic plans for growth.
These projects are projected to create and retain more than 220,000 jobs statewide.
Through the Regional Economic Development Councils, we have replaced the ‘one-size fits all’ approach to economic growth with a ‘ground-up’ strategy that focuses on cooperation and investing in regional assets to generate opportunity.
