Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 1454197, member: 5195"] CNY had better be one of the winners by default. The Mohawk Valley (e.g. Utica) has already received their fair share of financial lactation with the nano industry startup... plus I think there is another major nano investment being announced today for that area. Rochester just received a $600M win last week in the photonics industry. Buffalo was already pledged a billion a couple years back. I have to assume that 2 of the 3 "winners" for this pot of money will be CNY and the Captial region. If we get beat out by the North Country or the southern tier then let's fold up and turn off the lights. CNY needs this just to catch up. Between the med school and the UAV momentum, the ideas at least seem grounded and have legs. Would also like to see a tourism component as well -- a major attraction for the inner harbor would do well complementing the existing/planned amenities in that area. [/QUOTE]
