Message: [QUOTE="chakka3421, post: 1594127, member: 1091"] This just in. Cuomo has built into his annual budget up to $750 million in business & economic development made available to his pet projects like the money invested in the Amphitheater & state fair investments. Joannie Mahoney has been critical and invaluable to the region regarding economic development projects. Add to that a billion plus investment soon redo of I-81 plus the recent $500 million from the state and an additional $400 million in private investment on top of the state money - that's huge amount of $$$ coming our way. In addition, Chancellor Sevyrud has developed excellent connections into the Governors office by being co-chair to the CNY proposal to win the $500 million. I am of the understanding that $$$ is always available every year for - what I call - Cuomo pet projects. I still understand a placeholder for the stadium project of $250 million, or some portion of it, is still on the table. Change the name of the Carrier Dome to the Cuomo Dome I would bet the whole project would be paid for! I don't rightly have details on this one, but a national veterans medical school may involve federal monies - especially for full scholarships in exchange for being an indentured servant Doctor for a period of time in veterans hospitals nationwide and may involve federal grants and monies to actually build the school. Perhaps even research $$$. If Sevyrud pulls this off with both federal funding for the vet med school and state funding for a dome redo, the co-chair for a portion of $500 million we just won to build the Veterans center on SUs campus all within his short tenure - simply amazing. Add to that the Coyle hire who in turn hires Babers who gives SU football the potential identity similar to how Baylor restated its football program - all of this happening so quickly would be nothing short of a miracle - stay tuned.
