The Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse-Ithaca Innovation Corridor has been named a Tech Hub Winner! This prestigious award will bring $40 million in federal funding, with matching funds from New York State, to support the NY SMART I-Corridor to support semiconductor innovation, manufacturing, workforce training and business attraction, solidifying the region as a global leader in this industry. The NY SMART I-Corridor is one of only 12 award winners. This success would not be possible without the incredible bipartisan support from local, federal and state leaders, including U.S. Senator Charles Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, as well as Empire State Development, the collaboration of our partners from across Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester and Ithaca, particularly ROC 2025, Joseph Stefko, Buffalo Niagara Partnership, Dottie Gallagher, and the leadership of our project leads Syracuse University, Monroe Community College, and University at Buffalo.

Why doesn't this corridor extend to Utica and SUNY Poly? Or, all the way across the Thruway corridor to Albany? A silo'd and fragmented collection as is.
Believe it when I see it .. Buffalo politicians will mess it up . But at least we got a billion dollar tunnel coming soon
