Write a commentThe following is a statement from Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I-Pulaski) following the announcement that Central New York was named one of the winners of the Upstate Revitalization Awards today.
"I am glad Central New York is the recipient of one of the $500 million awards. Many local residents and agencies worked hard to put the best plan forward for our region and I am glad local efforts paid off. I am hopeful the infusion will jump start businesses and spur investments in our backyard toward long-term and sustainable job creation. Winning the Upstate Revitalization Award is very positive for our region and a good step to rebuilding our economy. To further build upon the economic growth this plan sets to achieve, and for the overall growth of our region's economy, I will continue to fight for lowering taxes and removing onerous regulations imposed by the state," said Barclay.
