press release (PDF 97K)Statement from Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of the Partnership for New York City, on Governor Cuomo's State of the State Address
“Governor Cuomo focused on issues most important to business - economic growth, public education, fiscal responsibility and efficiency in state government.
A new convention center in Queens, with the repurposing of the Javits Center site, is particularly important for New York City. The focus on public private partnerships to finance and develop infrastructure and the coordination of all state capital programs are other critical measures announced by the Governor today.”
