“Creating tax-free zones on the unutilized land and buildings surrounding our local SUNY campuses is a great way to spur economic development opportunities. In Central New York we have three great SUNY campuses, and these institutions along with this incentive will make our region more attractive to start-up and growing businesses. These public- private partnerships are a great way to boost the economy and give our talented young people an incentive to stay right here in Central New York upon graduation.”
