Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month announced $715.9 million in economic development grants Wednesday, including numerous awards to entities and projects in Saratoga County.

“We are transforming New York state into a top destination for companies from around the world to locate, invest and grow with initiatives like START-UP NY to provide tax-free areas and support to businesses,” Cuomo said.

These efforts have allowed the regional councils for the last three years to pursue economic development projects on the ground all across the state, from creating new technologies and supporting innovation to building hospitals and tourism destinations that will further our economic growth.
“The regional councils were empowered to change the face of economic development in their communities and they have accomplished just that,” he said.

Cuomo said the Capital Region REDC, which encompasses Saratoga County, has helped advance the region as a global leader in nanotechnology research and development, while also improving the quality of life for residents through downtown and waterfront revitalization projects.

“The council’s focus in 2013 includes investing in and expanding the local supply chain to the semi-conductor industry, technology training to generate employment opportunities and a continued investment in important redevelopment projects,” he said.

Among the grants to the area is $200,000 to help Saratoga Springs advance an anticipated updated comprehensive plan by drafting revisions to related policy documents, including zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, and building and construction standards. The city is updating its plan to further existing and still relevant sustainability concepts.
