Hochul sees brighter days ahead for upstate economy
As New Yorkers emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and the resulting economic morass, New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul acknowledged a tough path ahead.
But Hochul also shared a hopeful view of the state’s future Jan. 26 at Cornell’s annual town-gown regional meeting, this year virtually, with a focus on economic recovery and development. The meeting was attended by leadership from upstate and western New York communities and campuses.
The meeting focused on how the state’s college towns may thrive in the post-pandemic era.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity,” Hochul said. “How do we tap into the resources we have … and come back stronger than before? We’ve always done that.”
