From Micron to Main Street: CNY Economic Development

Listen | Watch | Read the Transcript

Central New York’s current economic development pipeline, the mechanism we use to monitor economic opportunities, is 20 times what it was in 2019. As of May 2024, it’s tracking around $10 billion in interest investment, and advanced manufacturing projects make up around 75% of that. It’s a big shift from what we were seeing even a year ago.

But CenterState CEO’s economic development work isn’t limited to the traditional business attraction and retention. It also aims to create opportunities and wealth for local residents and in underinvested neighborhoods.

On this episode of Talk CNY presented by NBT Bank, CenterState CEO Vice President of Economic Development Nora Spillane discusses the work we’re doing now and how we’re planning to grow sustainably.
