No penalty for success
ALBANY -- As it competes for a slice of $200 million in economic development funding, the Capital Region need not worry about other major projects moving through the pipeline.
"There will be no penalty for success," said Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy , emerging from the first meeting of the Capital Region Economic Development Council . "The Capital Region is second to none."
Duffy said the council will be "aligning" efforts and "leveraging" existing resources. This is one of 10 economic development councils vying for a pot of $200 million in quick economic development funding and $1 billion in overall state resources.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said there will be winners and losers: The best plans will win, and regional need -- the Albany area is in better economic shape than greater Buffalo, for example -- would not be a consideration in the awards.
The council's members met privately Tuesday morning in the SEFCU Arena at the University at Albany, joined by a number of elected legislators who aren't technically on the council. The attendees said they heard a brief presentation on the process and then began, essentially, to brainstorm -- in much the same way a city zoning or comprehensive plan might be developed.











So Josh Currie, fourth in Rocket scoring with 26 points, and Ben Duffy, PEI's leading scorer with 57 points, are treading carefully. Both are 19-year-old forwards and prime targets for teams looking to stock its roster for the playoffs.
